Five Memes That Deserve Candles Next (Vote With the Request Button)
Every candle in the shop started as a note in the same file: memes that might survive being an object. Here is a look at the current shortlist, and an honest account of what would get each one poured.
The shortlist
1. A second CaseOh wave. The Hoesac faithful are the shop's most requested fandom and the current four keep selling. The question is which moment; the file has three candidates and zero consensus at the family dinner table.
2. More 99 Nights lore. The Deer surprised us, and that game keeps generating icons. A second horror candle would make it a proper shelf set.
3. A speedrunning meme. The community is enormous, the inside jokes are potent, and nobody has made them a candle. The blocker is picking a reference that is not tied to one runner's worst day.
4. An older classic. Something from the golden era of YouTube, in the vein of the LA Beast tribute. Nostalgia burns slow and steady, exactly like a 12 oz candle.
5. Whatever is peaking the month we pour. One slot always stays open for the meme that is everywhere at pour time. High risk, high reward; the design process post explains why most flash memes fail the object test.
How the vote actually works
There is a Request a Candle button in the site menu. It goes to a real inbox that we read before every design cycle, and repeat requests move a meme up the list faster than anything else. The Kitty candle exists because people kept asking.
No promises on timelines, made-to-order keeps us honest about capacity, but the next drop will be announced right here on What's New. If you want it to be your meme, the button is right there.
