Yesterday as I was trying to find other things to do than shovel for the thousandth time this winter, I had a thought. If "big candle" were to make a scented candle based on your hometown, and you were the person to pick the scent, what would it smell like? I took to our social media page and asked you, and as always you gave us some GREAT answers. Although I'm not sure I'm going to be buying some of your candles...

Here are some of our favorite and not-so-favorite answers you gave us!
