Candle-Lined Walk of Shame

March 5, 2007

The Texas Rangers know that scented candles are right up there with feelings on the list of topics guys hate to be caught talking about. In a spot pitching the baseball team’s 2007 season a guy is in the smelly-wax products aisle with his gal. She asks him if he likes the “waterfall” scented candle. He says it’s nice and asks her if she likes the “cinnamon sea shell.” He then catches the look from a dad and young son at the other end of the aisle. They are wearing T-shirts and caps with the Rangers’ logo on them, and are entirely slack-jawed with pity/contempt. His response look is just as good, ‘cuz he knows they’re right. Tag offers dweeb-guy a way toward salvation: “You could use some baseball.”
