Retailer Bath & Body Works apologized for a candle promoted on its social media accounts displaying a snowflake, which some said appeared quite similar to a Ku Klux Klan hood.
Users on X began criticizing the candle’s design Tuesday, dubbing the design a “klandle.” The company, which is known for its fragranced candles and personal hygiene products, pulled the candle from its website and apologized in a statement to TMZ.
The snowflake in the image on the candle featured two holes on either side of its spindles. Critics said the pattern looked similar to the white hoods worn by members of the KKK,

“This sort of thing can easily be prevented by hiring the so-called ‘DEI’ candidate,” one X user wrote.

Is it still better to light a single KKKandle than to curse the darkness?

Looks more like an African witch mask than a klan hood. I would have not made this connection if it didn’t tick off a whiner who sees ghosts in every corner.

Tie it to a rope and use it for a garage door pull.

The perpetually offended will ALWAYS find something to be offended over.
It looks like a cut out paper snowflake to me.
But then again, I’m not a racist.

Here's the "Klandle"...
What? No fake noose to go with it? Looks like Zulu tribal masks to me. Zulu GOOD!

Looks like an AI designed snowflake, to me.
You’re right ... the perpetually offended have to be offended, always.

Oh FFS. I remember making these paper snowflakes in primary school. There are too many pansies who have NEVER experienced a single nanosecond of adversity they need to invent something, no matter how ridiculous, to be upset about. If I were a Connoisseur of candles I would buy one.
