January 1, Retail Giant’s Candle Controversy Highlights Downside of Woke Focus

Bath & Body Works, a retail behemoth known for its pricey scents and products, has yet again demonstrated the pitfalls of being too focused on diversity and inclusion rather than prioritizing good old-fashioned quality control.

This time, the company’s latest blunder involved launching a candle design that looked strikingly similar to the infamous hoods of the Ku Klux Klan—leading to uproar on social media. The so-called “Snowed In” candle, allegedly featuring a snowflake motif, bore such a resemblance that many couldn’t help but make the unfortunate connection.

One might ask: with all their proclaimed dedication to diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI), how did such a glaring oversight pass through Bath & Body Works’ supposedly vigilant eyes? Bath & Body Works quickly pulled the problematic “Klandles” from circulation, issuing a rather perfunctory apology.

In their response, the company stated they are “committed to listening” and taking action to rectify unintentional mistakes. However, it’s clear that while they devote resources to enforcing woke agendas, they forget the cornerstone of any business: delivering a quality product. Perhaps they might want to recalibrate and refocus on what matters to their customers.

If you’re weary of companies pandering to the woke brigade and then falling flat on their faces, you might want to consider alternatives. There’s no need to settle for candles wrapped up in identity politics. Why not explore options like The Candle Club? This brand offers a variety of handcrafted, high-quality scents made right in Tennessee—without any hidden political agenda.

The Candle Club proudly features exclusive collections, including fan favorites from The Daily Wire’s personalities. Their products offer a clean burn, free from harmful chemicals, and are made with all-natural wax. It’s time to choose products that emphasize quality and craftsmanship, without the unnecessary virtue signaling.
