I dunno, given that half of my "employed" friends are selling drugs, I could see some reasonable concern if they all got super successful

You should make fake labels with those names and glue them to regular boring store candle. I'm sure they'll smell better.

Can't you just buy empty cans instead of buying full soup cans, emptying and washing them, removing labels?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah but then you don't get the charity aspect which must have been important to him.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Quite the contrary. With the money and time saved he would be able to do even more charity. Buying canned soup isn't really cost effective.

Is Fast Orange that good? I need to get tape and stickers that my nephew out on my car lol

That adhesive comes off pretty well with rubbing alcohol. Fast Orange has pumice in it and will scratch your paint

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Something petroleum based might work better, but I don't think that's safe to use on auto paint.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

For sure I know Fast Orange will work on my interior since its plush material. What do you recommend instead? Alcohol still? Also thanks

Serious question- how do you reseal the cans after adding the candle wax? The lids are so bent up after I open them

I'd assume a stylised lid. I've never seen one tho so idk

How does one collect usable cans by buying soup and donating it to shelters? That doesn't make sense. Maybe he donates on the side, though?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

He donates the soup, and keeps the cans.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I mean, do shelters give him back empties? Or he transfer soup to something else, then donates? I'd think food donations need to be sealed.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

The shelters open them and save the cans to give back
