AVID fans of McDonald’s burgers can now make their homes smell like their favourite fast food as the company has launched a range of scented candles.

The popular chain is poised to launch a six-pack of scented candles that smell like the ingredients of a Quarter Pounder – a bun, ketchup, pickles, cheese, onion and beef.

The candles come in glass containers with a burn time of 25 hours.

The company’s Quarter Pounder Fan Club recommends the candles “burn together for maximum deliciousness”.

McDonald’s will launch the range to celebrate the chain’s nearly 50-year run.

The burger outlet is also going to be releasing a range of merchandise as a way of marking its anniversary with items including mittens, calendars, t-shirts, stickers and pins for its loyal customers.

The items will be made available to buy through its fan club website.

While the mittens are currently available costing $25 some of the other items are marked as “coming soon” although, as yet, no date has been given as to when they will be able to purchase.

McDonald’s is the latest company to get into the current craze for scented candles.

Recently filmstar Gwyneth Paltrow hit the headlines after she launched a candle that smelt like her vagina on her Goop website.

The This Smells Like My Vagina candle is described as being “funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected.”

Gwyneth even gave fans an explanation as to how the candle was created, in the product description.

The Goop website explains: “This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP—the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, “Uhhh..this smells like a vagina”—but evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent…

“It’s a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.”
