Are wax melts chavvy?

This is the opinion of a good friend when I told her that I had recently bought a few melts and a burner: 'Oh don't get into them, they are SO chavvy!'

I just want my house to not stink of baby wipes and crisp crumbs ffs!

Your friend is a very strange person. How the fuck can wax melts be chavvy?

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 08/09/2019 20:16

Chavvy wax melts? 😂😂

HairyFloppins · 08/09/2019 20:16

Course they aren't. How bizarre.

Violetflowerxo · 08/09/2019 20:17

How can they possibly be chavvy lol

AsTheWorldTurns · 08/09/2019 20:17

Like a candle? Confused.

I think I recently read of Kirstie Alsop railing against people who use smell-covering things as common. Or did I dream that?

inboxmayhem · 08/09/2019 20:18

Hmmm! Is it the seller thou I.e MLM pyramid selling to get these wax melts?

She is quite snooty generally. This latest one make me laugh out loud. Even when challenged she maintained they were 'Chavvy' and then went on a rant about Yankee Candles.

Are they? Maybe get some incense or an oil burner instead if you want to play it safe - or maybe they’re chavvy too?? Grin

BobTheFishermansWife · 08/09/2019 20:18

How on earth can something that makes your house smell nice be perceived as chavvy? I thought I had some out there ideas, but that's just odd...

RubaDubMum89 · 08/09/2019 20:18

What? I've never heard anything so bizarre!

Unless your wax melts are wearing a full tracksuit with a TN hat, I think you're OK. Hmm

Sparklesocks · 08/09/2019 20:19

Who cares that much about candle products! Your friend sounds insecure if she’s that concerned

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 08/09/2019 20:19

What does she use in her house?

iMatter · 08/09/2019 20:20

Hate Yankee candles but that's because they smell really awful and clawing but I don't think that means they are "chavvy"

gorrisandhorace · 08/09/2019 20:20

Veeeery chavvy

TooMinty · 08/09/2019 20:20

I think slagging off other people's home decor is chavvy...

Butchyrestingface · 08/09/2019 20:21

WTF is a "wax melt"?

I live in the sticks. Sad

gorrisandhorace · 08/09/2019 20:21

Also it is.
I would never tell anyone in real life Grin
Nor would I wish to be judged on my own array of wax melts

Sammyp235 · 08/09/2019 20:22

Your friend sounds like strange....

ItProtectsMyHead · 08/09/2019 20:23

A wax melt is a piece of scented wax that you melt over a flame to release the fragrance, as opposed to a candle with a wick that you'd light, for those asking

gorrisandhorace · 08/09/2019 20:23

The thing is yankee have that yacky home baked smell, kind of like margarine clinging to clothes.
And wax melts are a bit of an extension to this.
And wax melts are a bit mlm

Yankee candles are a bit full on.

dontcallmeduck · 08/09/2019 20:25

My mum bought me one but I don’t know how to use it? Do I melt it over and over again until it’s all gone? Seems to last forever that way

Butchyrestingface · 08/09/2019 20:25

@ItProtectsMyHead, may you bathe in asses milk. Cake

MillfredTheGreat · 08/09/2019 20:26

I don’t know about wax melts but I think yankee candles are chavvy too Blush
