Vlasic is selling a new scented candle that smells like dill pickles.

It also looks exactly like one of their jars. So you can’t even tell it’s a candle unless you look closely.

They did it for National Pickle Day, which is November 14th. And they don’t go on sale until then. But you can preorder online.

They cost $29 and are expected to ship around the middle of the month.
