Wax Drip of the Ages.

50+ Year Old Drip Candle

This seven-foot-tall wax drip was started from one candle in 1969.

[Catherine Stroud, 10/15/2022]

The towering, multicolor blob is named "The Drip Mountain." Somewhere in the heart of it is an empty bottle of hippie wine -- probably strawberry-flavor -- that served as the holder for the first candle. It's stood in the same candle shop since the Age of Aquarius.
