Obviously you’d have to save it up for years.

I just threw up in my mouth.
Yes, but it would smell terrible.
Have you ever heard of an ear candle? They used to do this to remove earwax.
Yuck. I hope the answer is ‘No’.
You mean the working man’s candle. Sure.
Ahahahahahahaha
It’s rare that I actually laugh out loud while on the computer but if anyone can do it, it’s you, AC.
But to answer the question, I suppose it’s possible if you’ve found a way to live as long as Methuselah in order to accumulate enough for one the size of a tealight.
I’ll try it and let you know.
Also, it wouldn’t taste very good.
@jfos I don’t have any idea why you’d eat a candle made of earwax…...but I most definitely agree with you!
Well, if you can settle for428 months of harvesting, and three seconds of burning….sure. Why not? (sayeth the wife of the financially illiterate Eskimo husband!)
I think you’d have to use snot as a bonding agent. Perhaps you could also fashion a wick from nose hairs.
Lurve for the Shrek reference.
I love love love the Shrek movies. Pure genius from Mike Myers and all involved !
loll..very creative question! But, having said that, have no idea my friend! And, will not be trying to prove or disprove the question. They are very cheap at Walmart!
