    So I’m guessing a competing company bought a bunch of bad reviews at the same time. But how did the second person put it in a graph? Is he really that passionate about protecting Yankee Candle from slander, or are those review reliability things more advanced than I thought…?

      I’m not sure how or why he would’ve come across that data, but as far as competing companies go…

      There definitely weren’t any widespread virus outbreaks in December 2021 and 2022 which affect the ability to smell, that’s for sure! /s

      Kidding aside, maybe covid was just a really complex form of corporate sabotage between candle companies 🤔

      Or maybe they had a bad batch or ran out of a particular ingredient and everyone eventually got those batches they thought they could pass off 🤷🏻‍♀️
