Jake curiously glanced over the unusual scented candles. These couldn't be serious. Mud, weed, sweat... pizza? These had to be a joke!
He smirked as he took the pizza candle off the shelf. Under the packaging, he could see the wax was an attractive swirl of yellow and red. He put his nose up to it and took a deep whiff. Yup, he could smell the cheese, tomato sauce, pepperoni, and various other toppings. His mouth began watering. Odd, he wasn't really a huge pizza fan, but he felt he could really go for one right then.
It would be perfect.

Phil eyed the gift bag Jake had given him warily. It was black with pink tissue poking out the opening, and the words "Sex Shop" in large text on the bag.
"Jake, what the hell is this?"
Jake grinned. "Open it and find out. I thought you might get some use out of it once you and Michelle get married tomorrow."
The other guys attending Phil's bachelor party snickered. Phil reached in slowly.
"This better not be some sort of dildo, you pervert."
He pulled out the candle and stared at it in confusion. "A pizza scented candle? You... shouldn't have?"
Jake suppressed a laugh. "You know. To set the mood."
The other guys laughed. It was a dumb joke, but they were all varying levels of drunk at that point, except for Phil.
Phil rolled his eyes and set the candle down. Another one of the guys, Hank, picked it up and looked it over. "Hey! This sounds like it might be pretty good! You mind if I light this?"
Phil raised a brow. "You want to light a sex candle in my hotel room right now?"
"Yeah!"
Phil shrugged. "Heck, why not. Knock yourself out."
Jake watched as Hank unwrapped the candle, tossing aside the paper instructions, and lit it with his cigarette lighter. He set the lit candle in the middle of the card table they'd set up, and the smell of pizza soon filled the air.
Phil wrinkled his nose. "Oh, man! That's strong!"
Jake shrugged. "Yeah, but not unpleasant."
Hank rubbed his stomach. "Oh, man, this puts me in the mood alright. The mood for pizza! You guys want some? I should order some."
Phil rolled his eyes. "Hank, you just ate." He frowned at patted his own stomach. "Actually, I'm kind of hungry, too."
One by one, Jake and the other guys confirmed that they could definitely go for some pizza. Hank picked up the phone and began ordering.
