If there was one thing pretty much anyone with a nose can agree on, it’s that the scent of sizzling bacon really is one of the most recognisable, and to some, most irresistible smell in life. Voted the top burger topping in a recent poll, bacon has the reputation of being that all-round, casually familiar, cross-mealtime staple. But what happens when you choose a vegan lifestyle? Aren’t you going to miss that crispy conk cuddle? Not anymore.

Step up national burger joint, Fat Hippo, proud to have turned the Secret Santa game upside-down as they light up this festive season with hints of sweet maple bacon. Adding further to their already almighty vegan menu which boasts an edible ‘fakon’ alternative, their brand new bacon scented candles smell good enough to eat whilst still 100% vegan.

With 46% of Brits considering reducing their consumption of animal products in the future, Fat Hippo are continuing their trendsetting style from munch to merch having teamed up with candle crafters Hot Wax, to reproduce their signature burger scents in plant-based candle form. Inspired by feedback from their vegan following indicating their most missed, meat-based memory being that of bacon, gave them the idea to recreate that scent-imental feeling you CAN bottle up – or rather preserve in soy wax and light on demand!

Nick Fountain, Head of Marketing at Fat Hippo, playfully commented, “It goes without saying, everyone is welcome here, we want you to be able to experience Fat Hippo in a way that works for you! Our vegan-friendly, bacon scented candle is proof that the world of fragrance can be just as wild as our burgers. We’ve noticed that more of our followers are embracing a vegan lifestyle, so we wanted to bring a touch of Fat Hippo’s magic to their lives. Consider this the gift without the guilt!”

But if bacon isn’t your bag, do you find yourself tickled by pickles? Then their second scent is kinda of a big dill! Both bacon scented and pickle scented candles are hand-poured with natural soy wax, and the scents have been authentically carefully crafted to be 100% vegan. Priced at £15 each, expect this to be the ultimate gift to surprise the vegan foodie in your life with something a little different this year, and have their humble abode smelling just like their favourite burger happy place.
