    Yankee candle rating dropped sharply (or at least statistically significant) during covid with reviews of them being negative because they had little to no smell.

    Loss of smell being a covid symptom.

    Edit: oh and yeah it would go up and down based on larger outbreaks. So it followed the early waves of mass outbreaks basically 1:1

      What’s more surprising to me is that there’s a big enough stream of reviews for a candle to see this effect.
