COUPLE OF NOTES ON brief 07…

I actually like the smell of Subway stores.

During one of Melbourne’s particularly long lockdowns, I had the idea to make candles that smelled like the inside of a Subway. But seeing as I couldn’t actually go to a Subway store to check what it actually smelled like, I settled for making bacon-scented, Furby-shaped candles instead. Some dreams are meant to stay as dreams.

I need a lot of R&D money. Unsure how much, but the ears keep falling off when I take the candles out of the custom-made silicone moulds.
