For sure to any of those, and most likely any other suggestion others come up with. The only down side is that it also reminds you about there being no bacon, and that's sad.
That roommate created candles so powerful, that the place where it was lighted smelled like the candle for months. And he’s not even a professional candle maker. He should consider creating a candle business, it would probably be a hit.
It might also not be a hit. If the scent of the candle stayed for months even after it runs out, customers would only buy, like, once a year. While the candles themselves might be awesome and well-regarded, the sales wouldn't go very well. -From your friendly neighborhood overthinking 6:00am guy.
This reminds me of a time where one of my grandmas came to visit us from the Bahamas, and she filled a can with bacon grease and egg shells and left it on our windowsill without telling anyone. It was mid summer She left to go back home and for *_days_* we could not figure out where this horrible, sun-baked, shit scented object was.
@@Meela9088 not sure about her, but I don’t put anything in the garbage that rots. Grease goes into a jar and frozen, same as bones and other such things. Then it gets tossed into the garbage on garbage day. EDIT a lot of things also get composted like egg shell and veggies
@@Meela9088 I was always taught to keep eggshells so that I could put them in the garden since they’re good fertilizer. I was also taught to keep the bacon grease because it stays good for a long time, and that way we could use it as oil instead of butter. Save the butter for the special occasions like when we’re cooking for guests. It’s because until my parent’s generation, my family has always been farmers in the middle of nowhere with not many grocery stores nearby. If something had a use, they’d find it. I imagine OP’s grandma is probably old fashioned and/or grew up somewhere rural Now why someone would keep both eggshells and bacon grease in the same jar? Your guess is as good as mine
I remember that! They put it in the oven, and I believe the exact phrasing was “my whole house smelled like the pillsbury doughboy’s butthole for a month”
How do you even do that? That would be at least three store-bought bottles of vanilla extract. What typical recipe calls for three containers of anything? Even making homemade extract, you would separate it into batches small enough to make you question it. Wouldn't you notice the batter being about twice (or thrice) as runny as it should be? Wouldn't you notice the overpowering scent and flavor when you taste it? Wouldn't it not cook right?
@@TheFansOfFiction well, somepeople just follow the recipe blindly. unfortunately, the same people might misread something and not question it until the very end

Before someone asks, yes you can make candles and soap out of bacon fat. The candles are a little risky, more often than not they will drown out, but you can do it.
@@eagletgriff I've got bad news for you then; all solid bar soap is made of grease/animal fat and lye. Or at least it was. Modern bar soap is various chemical substitutes, which probably work better, but still.
So, like, use it sparingly, unless you're using it in a large area, and probably blend in a few other kind of oil. Other spices like rosemary oil would probably blend nicely.
This is why I don’t want a roommate, because I might not be the weird one. And this is the level of weird my theoretical roommate would need to be the weird one.
This raises the question: Are we smelling what we think we are smelling right now, or are we just smelling the absence of other smells? Now when i smell something good, i might just start saying "hmmm, this absolutely don't smell like shit" or "i smell the absence of garbage in you, Peter" as a compliment.
Well, since smell is a chemical reaction in your nose you cant "smell the absence" of something. That is a brain thing where op has gotten so used to the stimulation from the bacon smell that it was odd for him to not smell bacon in the outside air. Can't disagree with "you dont smell like garbage" being comliment. Probably would be funny to confuse people by talking like that tough.
Technically both, I guess? At least, the way we experience scent, I think?? I’m half awake, though, so maybe I should smell you later and go back to sleep. Haha. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
IIRC that's actually why the air smells different in winter/when it's snowy out - you aren't smelling snow, just the absence (or near absence) of other smells
He needs the investment to create a breakfast collection! Candles scented by eggs, onions, waffles, toast and tomatoes, all at a retail store near you.
"so then we released the whole breakfast collection, and the egg ones... well... we recalled those after a week, and we, um... the CDC is getting involved now and, it's bad, it's really bad, we might get shut down soon..."
What's even worse is that weird smell they noticed when outside probably wasn't the absence of bacon, but instead the bacon smell on their clothing and body blending with the smells of the outside world.
I was immensely concerned when I saw this video appear on my home screen because I just used my bacon grease jar for the first time to fry some eggs (it was excellent btw and might be the best grease for cooking undeveloped chicken embryonic sacks)

We kept a bacon-grease crock (It held about a quart, give or take) for as far back as I can remember while growing up. Grandma got it handed down from her mom sometime in the 1930s, and used it for years before I was born, it got passed down to my mom, and it was being used right up to (and I have no doubt, beyond) the time I left home to strike out on my own. Wish I could find the same sort of covered ceramic/stoneware crock today, but no joy. Have to settle for a pint Mason jar. Not as handy (You've gotta unscrew the lid - a "takes two hands" operation, rather than just lifting the cover with one hand and pouring the fresh grease out of the pan with the other) but accomplishes the job. 'Taters fried up in bacon grease... YUM! And it's hard to go wrong frying eggs in it. Always loved taking the fresh, still-hot bacon grease and drizzling it on pancakes in place of butter, too.
I wonder how good the bacon-candle-guy is at his craft that the bacon candles never ran out for a few months to the point where they got used to it, must be a fine bacon-candle-maker if I've ever heard of one
@@ryuhayabusapwns you can also use it to heat up water into steam, put it through a turbine, and use the electricity to power a liposuction machine on a pig, extracting more fat from it and repesting the cycle
That sounds horrible and awesome. I just imagine like the bacon scent leaks outside the apartment so some guy going to their room is like. “Is… is that bacon?” And not just that but others would also smell it and be confused where it’s coming from. I’m wondering if there would be like some kind of smell complaint going on.
If it was that strong, I can’t see how the smell wouldn’t seep into the adjoining apartments, the hall, eventually the apartments further away…. The neighbors were probably wondering where the hell the constant bacon smell was coming from.
That made me worry about my irrational fear once again that what if my home has a smell, especially a bad one, but I’ve just become so noseblind to it that I don’t know it’s there?? And if someone comes over they probably won’t say anything to be polite but they still notice it? And you still don’t realize? Like do you ever just. Wonder what other people think you or your home smells like
That happens to me sometimes if I've been visiting my parents for a few days and come back and I'm like, "Why does the house smell like hay??" Less so recently bc we've been cleaning more often
That's not irrational, every person I've met has a smell and their house smells more like them. Just how intense the smell and bad the smell is the difference. Spritz some air freshener before people come over and you should be fine :)
i work with horses ive become so desensitized to the smell of horseshit and cigarettes, that i smell the abcense of these two practicular scents mind you, i smell other things extemely well (i can recognize people by the smell of their sweat, and i have to eat very bland food cuz otheriwse i go insane)
My roommates and I had regular popcorn when we were in college (the kind you toss in a bit of oil in a pan to make it pop). I had the bright idea of using bacon grease instead of oil one day. It worked...but we just ended up with slightly soggy popcorn that smelled vaguely of bacon.
I love how the brain is supposed to shut out constant stimuli so that it doesn't waste resources on redundant tasks like smelling lingering smells, but the bacon was just like "nah fam, you're stuck with me"
3 months... Oh you poor naive child. It will smell of bacon for years. Sure, you can wash your clothes, but once you put them back into the closet they will pick up the smell again. And scrubbing the closet also won't solve it..
The fact bacon candle guy must have planned this because he didn't tell op what he was using it for means he has probably done it before and will do it again
Actually its quite easy to make a candle using bacon grease or any other fat you just need to either, A: go through the same process as making a candle just replace the wax with the bacon grease or, B: fill a jar with bacon grease and lower a strand of twine into it and wait until it cools down and solidified
@@Eggshellrabbit They're clearly the roommate from the video lol Joke aside, I imagine anyone who knows a bit about how candles are made might know this.
"1) I don't know how he made them, but they were for sure handmade by an amateur not store-bought so I know he did it" I don't know how ya's done it *_BUT I KNOW YA'S DONE IT!!!!_*
My g-grandma used to make her kitchen soap out of bacon grease and lye; the stuff is hella versatile. According to my mom it pretty much just smelled like soap, too.
Sounds like something I would learn to do just in case the electricity goes out & we have no candles. Also, saving bacon grease is a very good idea on a budget. You can even season veggies with a tiny dab of it & some pepper. This comes in handy if you can’t much meat but you need the protein & fat
Roommate is really pulling the tungsten cube on him Hope this guy doesn't have to live the rest of his life with the knowledge he is currently not smelling bacon
Oh yeah the bacon candles would probably smell good to you for a few hours But a few days? You'd start getting tired of it and by a few months you'd be so accustomed to the smell of bacon that it loses its charm
Slather every common household item, every bit of wall and every piece of furniture you have in your home with bacon grease and live in said home for months on end. Document the experience.
Grease sticks everywhere. And stays. Forever. Grease vapor has the same properties. This guy just covered the entire apartment and themselves with a tiny film of undetectable pungent grease. 😬
My mother has saved a jar of bacon grease in the fridge for YEARS. Only a few days ago did she finally throw it out since it's only been used about 10 times to season cast iron pans. I'm considering baking her a cake to show how proud I am of her for letting go of her bacon grease jar. Should I top it with bacon?
This honestly sounds like a terraria item or minecraft Bacon grease candle description:How just how and just why. effect: 2x hunger to people nearby, and passive bacon smell.
I saw this come up again in my recommendations, and thought about watching it. Then the whole thing started playing in my mind in such perfect clarity that I realized I already had it memorized. I do not know how to feel about this information, but I clicked anyway so I could share with you lot
Once, in college, I made a candle that smelled exactly like second hand smoke. Why? I personally like the smell, It was easy, and now you have an excuse for why you and your house smell like cigarettes and pretend you have quit.
@@3_ormorecharacters Science! But seriously, you are just getting the oils from tobacco or much cheaper lotioned tissue, and concentrate it by heating in alcohol so evaporation happens quicker. Once you have the oils, add to bees wax, specifically bees wax. And voila, it smells like a pancake house in the 90's!
My grandparents lived through World War Two and food rationing. They were taught to save and reuse everything. When I visited, my grandmother always had a coffee can full of collected grease in the kitchen and she would cook with it again and again. It didn't get rancid but it made her cooking taste weird.

The fact bacon candle guy must have planned this because he didn't tell op what he was using it for means he has probably done it before and will do it again
Actually its quite easy to make a candle using bacon grease or any other fat you just need to either, A: go through the same process as making a candle just replace the wax with the bacon grease or, B: fill a jar with bacon grease and lower a strand of twine into it and wait until it cools down and solidified
Why do you know this.
I mean bacon grease isn’t very solid. Would be less of a candle and more of an oil lamp
@@TumblinWeeds It solidifies once it cools
@@Eggshellrabbit They're clearly the roommate from the video lol
Joke aside, I imagine anyone who knows a bit about how candles are made might know this.
@@mnArqal93 oh! My roomate is a fondle worker and she stumbles across this on our account and she was like- “what the heck”
Imagine if he hadn’t known about the candles and eventually went to a doctor saying “I don’t understand it doc. Everything smells like bacon!”
Ferb, I think I know what we’re going to do today. *preheats oven with malicious intent*
I tried to come up with witty comment but the only thing I could think was BACON.
"1) I don't know how he made them, but they were for sure handmade by an amateur not store-bought so I know he did it"
I don't know how ya's done it *_BUT I KNOW YA'S DONE IT!!!!_*
Bro was saving it so he make his frying pan a strange frying pan.
My g-grandma used to make her kitchen soap out of bacon grease and lye; the stuff is hella versatile. According to my mom it pretty much just smelled like soap, too.
Sounds like something I would learn to do just in case the electricity goes out & we have no candles.
Also, saving bacon grease is a very good idea on a budget. You can even season veggies with a tiny dab of it & some pepper. This comes in handy if you can’t much meat but you need the protein & fat
Doesn't really add up.
If you are able to afford bacon you are not on a budget.
Had me absolutely in tears almost the entire time I was listening.
Average American:
“I was simply smelling the ABSENCE OF BACON”
This is like taking 6 pounds of gold and using it to make a toilet seat
What a great way to descend into madness
Sign me up for the cinnamon rolls alternative!
The absence of bacon gets me every time 😸
Roommate is really pulling the tungsten cube on him
Hope this guy doesn't have to live the rest of his life with the knowledge he is currently not smelling bacon
“it was nuts” i thought it was bacon…
This sounds like a sitcom I would love to watch
the ending killed me
"I was smelling THE ABSENCE OF BACON"
haven't laughed that hard in a while
Honestly, sounds like a fun roommate
I don’t know why you’re complaining, bacon smells good
Go ahead and coat the inside of a mask with bacon grease, put it on, and wear it continuously for 24 hours. Tell me what you think then.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter hi im a time traveler and i think its fucking SCRUMPTIOus i couldn't hold it in i had to eat the mask
Oh yeah the bacon candles would probably smell good to you for a few hours
But a few days? You'd start getting tired of it and by a few months you'd be so accustomed to the smell of bacon that it loses its charm
I'd be complaining, bacon is the worst meat smell after smoked mackerels, and they are both really strong.
Slather every common household item, every bit of wall and every piece of furniture you have in your home with bacon grease and live in said home for months on end. Document the experience.
“The Absence of Bacon” sounds like a bizarre book
This is the scariest Halloween episode yet.
Grease sticks everywhere. And stays. Forever. Grease vapor has the same properties. This guy just covered the entire apartment and themselves with a tiny film of undetectable pungent grease. 😬
Roommate from the kitchen:
Bet you can't smell what I'm cooking
me:
Is it becon?
Roommate:
... F*CK
That’s a life pro tip if you don’t wanna get caught smoking anywhere such as a dorm or hotel. Pretty genius.
The day after the smell went away, they discovered that the next-door crematorium had closed down.
this is the second worst thing you can do with a mason jar
This is like when it’s 8:29 PM
Go to bed
haha
smelling the abscence of bacon must be terrifying
I thought he was gonna use that bacon grease for lotion purposes.
Seems like these guy needs a candle with the sent "the absence of bacon"
My mother has saved a jar of bacon grease in the fridge for YEARS. Only a few days ago did she finally throw it out since it's only been used about 10 times to season cast iron pans. I'm considering baking her a cake to show how proud I am of her for letting go of her bacon grease jar. Should I top it with bacon?
do it
I've been rewatching your older videos, they're still funny as the first day xD
In all other circumstances, “absence of Bacon” sounds so disappointing. However, in this situation it sounds like something worth celebrating 🎉
Abscense of bacon is truly one of the worst smells imaginable
This honestly sounds like a terraria item or minecraft
Bacon grease candle
description:How just how and just why.
effect: 2x hunger to people nearby, and passive bacon smell.
Definitely terraria
This person probably had so many run ins with wild dogs
truly he was a man amongst men
truly one of the men of all time
Men
Men
He could only smell bacon or the lack there of; no in-between.
Absence of bacon...
This must be the work of an enemy stand.
Bacandles.......
I saw this come up again in my recommendations, and thought about watching it. Then the whole thing started playing in my mind in such perfect clarity that I realized I already had it memorized. I do not know how to feel about this information, but I clicked anyway so I could share with you lot
My dad made bacon soap 😭😭😭
I need "ABSENCE OF BACON" on a shirt or something
Once, in college, I made a candle that smelled exactly like second hand smoke. Why? I personally like the smell, It was easy, and now you have an excuse for why you and your house smell like cigarettes and pretend you have quit.
the question here is not why, but HOW???
@@3_ormorecharacters Science! But seriously, you are just getting the oils from tobacco or much cheaper lotioned tissue, and concentrate it by heating in alcohol so evaporation happens quicker. Once you have the oils, add to bees wax, specifically bees wax. And voila, it smells like a pancake house in the 90's!
@@godferbidd6262 dang, I didn't actually expect an answer. science is cool!
Apparently candles used to be made out of animal fat
Is it possible to purchase said bacon candles? Asking for a friend.
My thoughts exactly
I laughed so hard in my workplace watching this my superiors came over to check on me asking me whats going on
My grandparents lived through World War Two and food rationing. They were taught to save and reuse everything. When I visited, my grandmother always had a coffee can full of collected grease in the kitchen and she would cook with it again and again. It didn't get rancid but it made her cooking taste weird.
i'm coming once in a while and every time it's hilarious. it's never gonna be not funny.
MMMMMMM. b a c o n ?
Smelling the absence of bacon sounds like a tragedy
I guess you can say the situation ba-con a mess.
Nostrils really went overdrive on this one.
