bullshit options with shit ass quora usually at the top. Who dafuq uses quora?

I wonder the same thing. I used it once, and only once, in my life. I had been trying to find vegan birthday candles and having no luck finding sources for the wax (since I was explicitly avoiding beeswax), so I asked Quora where I could find vegan candles. The answer I got?

“Don’t eat birthday candles.”

Uhhh…

Apparently whatever fool worked there had no idea that “vegan” is a lifestyle, that goes beyond food. The question was closed and I had no way to appeal or add information. Fantastic.

    Hmm, I would assume most candles are vegan being made of either paraffin or soy wax. Bees wax tends to be more expensive since it takes a long time for bees to make wax. The flame from bees wax is also smaller and less bright. Am I wrong about this assumption?

    I don't think you are. I'm pretty sure the default would be a cheaper alternative to beeswax.

    I don't guess they don't have to list the ingredients though, so it would be hard to know it was vegan.
