Half a box of candles!

Post image

We decided on a “destination Hanukkah” this year (it will be “a thing” one day). Picked up a travel menorah and a box of candles. On day two we noticed that there were only enough candles on the box for five days (and a couple of leftover candles).

Who would think that selling a full sized box of candles with only 1/2 of the candles is a good idea (and foam/cardboard stuffing so from the outside it looks “normal”)? Even the company who sold these realized it was a stupid thing to do as they’ve since updated their packaging to clearly state “HALF BOX.”

Grrr.

Oy vey! Then again maybe they’re magic candles that stay lit for 8 days???

It's only half a box if you don't cut them in half

It’s pretty normal, i mean usually it’s like that when buying oil candles, probably not that big of a deal.
Also, judging by your post, you’re probably an ashkenazi.

You're Jewish, cut them in half.

If I had noticed before using 6 of them, that would have worked :)
