Deleting all comments because only in this site you will find people throwing shit at a 17 year old boy who has voluntarily fed 80’000 people by starting his own business because he has a very particular idea lf masculinity which happens to threat only people with paper feelings.

His business has a line of ‘SheCans’ with names like ‘Unstoppable’, ‘Awesome’, ‘Fearless’ and ‘Beautiful’.
Anyone who is bitter about this kid’s business needs to step back and reevaluate their life.

^^
Reblogging again because of that comment

also this article is misleading. there is nothing on the site that says the lad was “sick of his sister’s flowery candles” he got the idea from his sister who was selling them for a school fundraiser and wanted more scents that appealed to him, as the overwhelming majority of scented candles are marketed towards women.

So all this is is misogynistic and inaccurate journalism?

that seems to be the case yeah

NGL if I could make my whole house smell like coffee I would invest.

I remember reading about this kid a few years ago. This was the article I’d seen about him. It’s much more informative. (x)

He actually started making the candles when he was 13 to pay for a bike he wanted. Originally his family, friends, and neighbors would eat the soup and then he’d use the cans. It was suggested that he start donating the soup to food banks and he decided it was a good idea because he felt wasting any soup was wrong. 

In 2014 he went into full production. The company he uses to manufacture and distribute the candles is Beaver Creek Candle Company. They’re a company whose workers are developmentally disabled and 100% of their proceeds go directly to those workers and the operation of their facilities. 

Since they are now in full production ManCans no longer donates soup. Instead a portion of the proceeds of every candle sale is donated to soup kitchens. As of 2015, when the article I linked was written, Main’s company has provided over 100,000 meals and $35,000 to 25 soup kitchens in 4 different states.
