It's clear going through the warehouse that the candles are discontinued OR overstock OR retailer returns OR discolored OR damaged OR test pours. It's up to the shopper to carefully inspect the merchandise. Frankly, I don't care what color my candles are; at $2 for $1, those discolored candles are more than 90% off. There were plenty of high quality candles from overstocks and discontinued lines this weekend that would make excellent gifts. As the buyer, you should be opening up the boxes to make sure that the candles inside match what's on the label and isn't damaged. I do that at regular stores. If you want perfect products, go pay full price at retail! I don't understand why you're so bitter Karen,
