A few months back I saw a young white male take three of them from Home Depot. I remember thinking that I had never actually seen anyone purchase tiki torches before.
I wonder what stores are going to increase their inventory to meet the racist demand.

(4,492 posts)You can get them at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's, etc. They're in the mosquito control section.
Now I wish they weren't mosquito control because these SOBs deserved to be attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes.

I think WalMart and Target also sell them, they're big at suburban pool parties.

They supposedly repel mosquitoes - citronella candles.
All of my in-laws are into entertaining and have stashes of them.

That said, as I go in to purchase new canisters I fully understand if the person next to me has that thought. It's how terrorism works. In the mind it can even pit friends against friends.
