    Is it really that weird to not fully understand how candles work? They’re rarely used nowadays if you have electricity, and it’s not exactly the most intuitive - I mean wax melts, and reveals more wick, and the wick is the thing you set fire to, so I don’t think it’s that weird to think the wick is burning.

      I would assume people goong “ok, so the wick burns but what is the purpose of the wax? Oh it’s the fuel duh”
