What's the Hidden Message?

Every candle has a secret. As the wax melts, a hidden message slowly reveals itself — printed on the inside of the jar, waiting for you to discover it. You won't know what it says until you burn it down. Some are funny. Some are sweet. All of them are worth the wait. It's the surprise you didn't know you needed.
