I lit two identical candles from the same box at the same time, and one is burning down twice as fast as the other by TerrifyinglyAlive

Particular_Scar6269 on October 4, 2025 4:02 am One candle clearly had dreams and ambition. The other just showed up to work.
Katanagarii on October 4, 2025 4:10 am I wonder if the color of the cup has anything to do with it? I know dark colors get hotter in the sun, but would that also apply to a candle flame?
ManamiVixen on October 4, 2025 4:21 am A longer wick equals a bigger flame, and thus burns faster. Must be kept at around 0.33in or 1cm for optimal use. Edit: Got the metric wrong, corrected.
frill_demon on October 4, 2025 4:27 am The shorter candle is slightly leaning to one side, meaning it dumps more of its wax instead of vaporizing/burning it. If you look in the cups I’d be willing to bet the blue cup has significantly more waste wax that has dripped down in it.
Candid_Sky3443 on October 4, 2025 5:06 am What i find mildly interesting is you burning candles in a cup
badkarman on October 4, 2025 5:12 am I’d say there’s a 50% chance that you’re going to buy another box.
gayjoystick on October 4, 2025 5:27 am Hmmmmmm. I dunno. I don’t think it’s burning twice as fast. I think the other one is burning half as quickly.
DigitalSchism96 on October 4, 2025 5:32 am Did you check if the one on the left was burning twice as bright? I’ve heard that is usually the case with candles that burn half as long.
Unlikely-Yesterday-8 on October 4, 2025 5:33 am Grams said it had to do with how you had to hold your tongue when you lit it. And something about the tide. I miss huffin glue with Grams.
VilleKivinen on October 4, 2025 6:03 am Is that right mug made of steel? What manufacturer? I might have few from the same set.
Sumthin-Sumthin44692 on October 4, 2025 6:09 am Check to see if the faster one is burning at both ends. ^/s
digitalbladesreddit on October 4, 2025 6:12 am Blue is for men, checks out, nothing unusual here 🙂
Bigger_Moist on October 4, 2025 6:18 am Obviously the one in the grey cup must be burning twice as bright according to the old saying
sweep-the-leg-johnny on October 4, 2025 6:40 am Wow I didn’t know about all these candle physics but it makes scents.

That candle’s name is Scruffy
The one on the left is down because it’s feeling blue.

Did you trim the wick?

Not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.

One was from the left ear, the other from the right.

Did you put one of the candles in the freezer?
Was one near a breeze?

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long

Somewhere this is going to be the source of a math problem
if your candle lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor
Neat. Who gives a shit? Show us the Epstein files.

You have a witch living on the left side. It’s in the bible.
Cheap candles. Buy quality next time
Darker cup holds more heat so wax melts faster? Maybe?Â
