This Candle Looks and Smells Like a Bowl of Froot Loops

Fruit Loops. They’re magically delicious. Wait, that’s not right. They’rrrrrre great! No, that’s not it. Anyway, I don’t have to ask Toucan Sam to follow his nose to this Froot Loops cereal candle, because I can do that myself.

This thing looks like a half-eaten bowl of cereal and smells just like Fruit Loops when you burn it. Jennifer Cox of Nashville’s CandleLit Desserts created this breakfast replica to please your nose and your eyes. She makes all kinds of candles that are realistic and look and smell like desserts and other foods. But this one is for the cereal lover in you.

It even has a real spoon sunk into the faux milk wax. You can check out this candle and many others in her Etsy shop. Pretty cool. Now all I need is some toast candles, some bacon candles, and some OJ candles and my breakfast that I can’t eat a single bite of will be complete.

Anyway, if you like the smell of cereal and you can’t get enough of it in your home, this one’s for you.

Apple’s New AirPods Launched With Longer Battery Life And Wireless Charging

Apple’s AirPods were initially launched back in 2016, but the company hasn’t really bothered to update it for the past few years, at least until now. Hot on the heels of rumors that a new set of AirPods could be in the works, Apple has officially launched its second-gen set of AirPods earphones.

In terms of design, the AirPods will look pretty much identical to its predecessor. There were rumors that there might be a black option that could be offered, but judging by this, it seems that those rumors did not pan out. Perhaps Apple could offer more color options at a later date, but for now they’ll continue to be offered in white.

That being said while the exterior might be old, Apple has improved on the innards of the earphones. One of those changes includes a new Apple-designed H1 chip which according to the company, has been designed for headphones in mind. It is expected to help make it faster at connecting to devices, improved battery life, and also hands-free “Hey Siri”. Prior to that, the first-gen AirPods used the W1 chip which was already pretty impressive, so we’ll have to wait and see how much better the new H1 chips are.

The new AirPods will also be sold with a wireless charging case, which means that you will be able to place it on top of a wireless charging pad like the upcoming AirPower mat and it will start to charge. For those who still own the previous-gen AirPods, you will be able to purchase the wireless charging case separately.

The new AirPods are priced at $199 with the wireless charging case, $159 with the regular charging case, and the standalone wireless charging case will be sold for $79, all of which can be purchased via Apple’s website.
