Candle Huffing

The annoying act of smelling every candle in a retail outlet that sells candles, including Yankee Candle, BB&B, Cracker Barrel, Bath & Body Works, and others.

Girl: Let's go to the mall.
Guy: I can't.
Girl: Why?
Guy: I went to Yankee Candle last week and got kicked out for Candle Huffing.
Girl: You're a douchebag.
Guy: But Napa Valley Harvest smells so good. And Clean Cotton smells like new towels.

worth the candle

Old idiom that means the potential benefits or rewards of an action or endeavor should justify the effort, time, or resources invested in it. The phrase has its origins in the idea of needing a candle to provide light for an activity, and the light should be worth the cost of the candle itself.

John: Is driving all the way across town for a cup of coffee really worth the candle?
Mary: Yes!
