I have found another use for bottled Guinness.
The label on a large scented candle stresses the need to snuff, not blow it out. Quite why, I am unsure.
But in the interests of empirical investigation I thought I would experiment to find out.
I don’t have a candle snuffer. Casting around for something suitable with which to improvise, I thought of the cap from a bottle of Guinness – it’s not a cone but if I put it right down over the flame it should do the trick.
Like magic. In fact you don’t have to push it right down to the surface of the candle, just placing it over the top of the flame will work instantly.
I feel ridiculously pleased about this discovery.
