Can you even remember what a new Mac smells like?

Is it distinctive? Does it have something unique about it? Or is that smell merely the result of your excessive excitement at buying one?

I only ask because Twelve South, which makes Apple accessories, has released something called the New Mac Candle.

It's made of 100 percent soy wax. I assume that's a good thing. You, though, will be wondering what a new Mac smells like. In candle odor terms, that is. New Macs smell of mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin and sage, according to Twelve South.

What does a new PC smell like? And thus, a new meme is born...

    I'm pretty sure the smell is a mix of hydrocarbons with unpronounceable 14-syllable names that probably all cause cancer, not "mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin and sage"

    But the more important question is: if I light it and say 20 Hail Steves, will they freaking release a new MacBook Pro already?

    will they freaking release a new MacBook Pro already

    Since Steve Jobs died, every apple release has been a step backwards, away from "it just works" to "change for changes sake".

    Sadly the PC industry is no better. I'm typing this on a 2010 Thinkpad T410s as it was the last one that had a proper keyboard.
