Ever found a large apartment on AirBnB and wondered why it was so cheap? Sometimes the danger is worse than inflated rental prices in the area.

Destroy the Stay Puft marshmallow man in your own home
I need this. This clever idea for a candle comes with a twist. No, it doesn’t become the Avatar of Gozer the Gozerian but it does burn with the scent of marshmallows.

Short film: Office Kingdom
