What Is It?
Man Cans are candles for men--in scents that men love. Man Cans was started two years ago by a 13 year old boy, who had an idea to create this product after seeing his sister sell candles. Um, when I was 13 I was all about boy bands and not becoming an entrepreneur! Not only do the candles smell fabulously, they support a great cause too! These would be perfect in an office or even a Man Cave (my step-dad has one. Happy birthday to him today, by the way!).
The scent of coffee already fills the air.
I was sent the Man Cans candle in Coffee. The scent of coffee resonates with me because it reminds me of my late Grandfather's house in Maryland. Plus, I happen to enjoy a cup or two of coffee myself. I could smell the candle before I even opened the package! If you like the scent of coffee, you'll love this.
one candle, one meal
The candles come in a soup can. The soup from each can feeds someone in need. Over 30,000 meals have been donated so far. I just love that. They do fundraising too with the candles.
What Scents Can I Get?
- Coffee
- Sawdust
- Gun powder
- Cigar
- Fresh cut grass
- Dirt
- Memphis Style BBQ
- NY Style Pizza
- Campfire
- Grandpa's pipe
- New mitt
- Bacon
the scent will wake you up!
How Well Does It Work? Cost?
Like I mentioned earlier, I could smell the candle before I lit it, so I wasn't surprised at the scent. It's very realistic and the candle are made from natural wax. The candles are $9.50.
Where Can I Get One?
Man Cans are available online and in certain stores--check the list here. The candles come in minimal, recycled packaging, which I liked, but it did seem like mine had melted a smidge (assuming it's from mailing). The company was great to work with and they do accept returns if you're not satisfied. Go check 'em out!!!
Never heard of this. Very interesting and great concept.

I am with you Elle, when I was 13 all I thought about was 98 degrees, Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, & Hanson! LOL~! however, we did kool aid & ginger snaps to all of 2 cars in the neighborhood! 1 being a limo so I guess I was somewhat of an entrepreneur, lol!
