I'll be back to pick one up when I hit the lottery, lol. But at least then I can stop in to see you two at the same time.

I guess you’re aiming at your wealthy fans at those prices, but there is a cost of living crisis atm and paying the heating bill for most people is a big priority.

Good luck! Even Diptique charges less than $100 for a candle, though. Maybe your subscribers are not your target market.

I love your channel but the candle thing just doesn’t feel right to me, it doesn’t seem to fit with who I thought you two were. The commercialism makes me sad, but even more sad when I looked at the website and saw the price. Good grief! Plus, by the way, the UK is showing as Euros but should be £ so I couldn’t even check how much they would be in £ out of pure curiosity, since I would not or could not ever pay that much for a candle

I think who we thought they were and who they have become through all the money flowing has made them become greedy. It's a shame as at the start they were a couple trying to turn a run down house into a little business now the into a little business now the b&b is below them it's all expensive kitchens, Tesla's, boats, luxury geets, and outrageous candles.

 

[AndAnotherName]

Stephanie Jarvis must be flaming furious right now that Tattlers are talking about Philip and Anna Smugs and not her!

The consensus in the comment section is that their FREAKING CANDLES ARE TOO FREAKING EXPENSIVE for the crowd they are selling them to!

Wowowowow! 110euros for a scented candle? For that price, I can get 5 lovely and large scented candles that will do the job equally.

It's $121.00 not including shipping for the US🫢 I'd love one & I'm sure they smell heavenly however I have to heat my home & that's too rich for my blood. Packaging looks beautiful too & Phillip's presentation is on point.... but I can't justify that much for a candle. Still adore your channel tho!! Merry Christmas

Unfortunate price point for viewers… bad taste in the mouth.

Based on current exchange rate today no way would I pay AUD$171 plus postage for a flipping candle. They must have rocks in their heads.

 

[FrenchGuy]

Back to LaLande I have a quick question. Andrew and Ricardo...who are they? I've seen them pop up now and then but I have no clue who they are. Thanks

Ah as we say in Ireland “your having a laugh” €110 for a candle.

 

[On Repeat]

I don’t know about the production cost, and I agree, on paper they have the potential to sell more than enough… but in the world of “influencers” the assessments include not only the financial gain… we carefully assess the image of the content creators.
This image is on one hand important for their growth and gaining new subscribers, and on the other hand it’s even more important for attracting sponsors… if they are losing their popularity and trust of their followers, or are saturating the pool of their subscribers with their own merch, it means the sponsors may not be as interested.

There is a lot to consider and I confess, without actually seeing the stats on their channel it’s hard to come up with an answer.

I knew you could make more sense of it than me- thank you.

 

[T Rex]

Oh Fanny, now the Fleurie's viewers are comparing the Fleuries' actions to yours- preach @theonlinelegend!

 

[Karma baby!]

Tattlers.. I have shocking news!!!!!

Fanny is not in Paris in Disney Land... She says she is 3 days ahead in the Advent, and has gone to London with Philip.
They are going to visit aunt and uncle, to celebrate Chantal's and PhiPhi's mom's birthday, and bring aunt and uncle back to LL. And then sometime before or after that apparently they went to pickup PhiPhi's mom, and went to Germany and visited a Christmas Market in Aachen.

Don't worry, it's not just you... everyone is confused by this timeline
I'll report later with the rest of Patreon video...

 

[OhIDontKnow...]

There's way too many to delete it is a tsunami. I hope they haven't been idiots and invested a tonne of money. I also hope this isn't Patreon money. Not only has it seemingly flopped a lot of people seem affronted-they like to think they are high end but a lot of their viewers are probably watching in in a dream like haze and could never aspire to their lifestyle, instead of remembering how skint they were and how viewers helped them they have become big headed wankers. Humbling when you see that lady say she is heating her room with tea lights-I hope they feel ashamed. I imagine though the Smug's will be sneering at these people who pay for their lifestyle.

There’s a guy from Charleston SC that came up with an idea for all the wine bottles being tossed out of a restaurant he was working in. He cut them off and used them for candles. It’s called ReWined. They upcycle used wine bottles and have several scents. They go for around $35. They started in 2015 and this year are projected to do $6M in sales. I think the key point here is the price point. They are nice candles and they have the up-cycling angle.

I don’t see that happening with a wanna-be-luxe two candle scent operation. Unless they can get in local shops sitting right next to $100 candles and they smell great. Also, a year in R&D and no one thought about the backlash in the comments that could hurt their core business - the YouTube Channel? Headsmack?!?

 

[graciemckitten]

The Fleuries have not started deleting comments yet. If trigger finger Phi Phi was at the helm, all critical comments would have been immediately deleted and fake comments inserted gushing about how the news about the Fluries creating a candle just saved someone from jumping off a ledge, cured their Covid, and mama could walk again ( what a miracle! The Fleuries are so magical that the news that they created an outrageously priced candle miraculously cured mama and she just got up and walked 5 miles…. Her doctors are stunned!)

 

[TorontoGWM]

They definitely read here and respond like clockwork! 3 days ahead in Advent, that must have taken a full 15 minutes out of her day!

Hi! Love the videos. I have seen a tiny bottle balsamic vinegar from Modena aged for 100 years retail for 580€. It kinda makes sense, took lots of time to produce, the product is used in small doses and can be used for a long time. But, 110€ doesn't make sense for a candle that burns in 70 hours. Philip, this isn't the way to afford the boat!

At this point, she jumps back to London, showing us the holiday display at Fortnum & Mason with some Christmas music... riveting content! I am ready to claw my eyes out out of boredom... And you bet she buys some Truffle Honey from F&M

Fanny is worried no one is kissing under the mistletoe.... thankfully we are not blessed with them remedying the situation.

Here is a classic American Christmas song modified for the Dump crew for Fanny to sing in an Advent video. Enjoy.


The Christmas Song (Merry Griftmas to You)"
(originally by Nat "King" Cole)
LieLande version

Dan’s nuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Daniels nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a con
And freezing folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows Brussels sprouts and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Fanny and PhiPhi loaded with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that the postman is on his way
He's loaded lots of grifted toys and goodies on his sleigh
And Fanny’s man child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To Grifters from twenty five to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Griftmas to you


Here is link to original song if you would like to hear the melody and substitute the new lyrics.

 

[Patriciarella]

Dear world OUR chateau/castle is falling down so I am passing the hat to pay for it. Just keep passing and filling it up. I will count it when I am back from vacation.

Thanks for buying my kitchen that is nicer than your kitchen. Now buy me a candle and stop complaining.

Buy me a coffee, low fat, double whip, 2 squirt vegan from the himilyan, stand on one foot, truffle, silk, with one 007 ice cube and the steam must be tempered to my dog’s liking and make it only with your left hand and could you pretty please sprinkle cinnamon in the shape of a dolphin on top.

 

[Karma baby!]

We are certainly in the post Botox era.

Why should I suffer alone.. you guys see some of the F&M displays too.

The Christmas market Truffle Honey was not posh enough for fanny.

And finally.. is it love, it is cringe, is it weird?

Nice Patreon intel....keep paying her CN$7...we'll repay you...in likes.

Davy might be mildly autistic (not derogatory, it's not something to make fun of---just an observation).
He has some of the mannerisms and characteristics of one.

Also, Stephanie and Cat would have made a better lesbian couple or even Hanni. Lady Phyllis just isn't transitioned well enough yet.

F4F just has to bookend her “ my castle is collapsing” grift before Griftmas:
- The structural architect is arriving tomorrow to tell them how bad things are and what they should do.

So predictable.

She only “slums” it at the Dump and areas around it.
No supermarket sweaters for London. Hmmmmmmm.

F 4 F’s forehead is so smooth and shiny, you could ice skate on it.

Yeah and she wore her “real clothes” in London and a mysterious benefactor bought her one of the fluffy and designer fabric purses she saw at the antiques fair at the chateau they bought the place cards at. Yea sure they did. Liar liar liar.

She made a point of saying the inside of the bag was “faux fur”. While wearing this……

 

[T Rex]

Well, I watched Fanny's latest vlog offering: The T Rex Take- watching you don't have to! Andrew and Ricardo arrive, bearing wine and food ingredients, as usual, because otherwise they KNOW they will be given the bare minimum to eat (this is where you failed, Amy and Mr. Bean, and why your only meal consisted of Potts bread.) Andrew has brought the ingredients for tamales, and racist Fanny pulls Herr Nutti out to pronounce the pepper names (this was so cringe and inappropriate.) Fanny has never had the exotic "tay-mall-ays" before, but offers to assist- doesn't even pull her hair back. Fanny got flour in her face and tried to remove it with her chili-laden fingers. I am intrigued- as one who makes tamales for Easter (I make the Mexican version with lard), Andrew makes his with lard and a shyte-ton of butter. The sauce actually did look legit with tomatillos, tomatoes. chilis, cinnamon, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), but sesame seeds? Andrew also makes bread (? because tamales and bread?) and covers the filthy table with parchment paper to roll them out (with so many ball jokes- apparently, Fanny cannot handle two balls at a time- Snorts laughs because he has no balls.) Team LaLande comes together to assemble the tamales in banana leaves- perhaps I just am uncultured, but the Mexican version of tamales consists of masa (dough) and the sauce/meat filling (the meat is already incorporated into the sauce), and the ones I had in Guatemala were similar to the Mexican ones- who puts bell peppers, capers and green olives into their tamales?!? Help me out @billybudd! (Also, that masa looked far too runny!) I have never EVER seen tamales put into foil either- they are in banana leaves- that is the wrapper. Ricardo has arrived with pups Pugsley and Pompadour, who Fanny actually attempts to play with, "See viewers? I am playing with dogs!" Lies. The tamales are done (no one showed us how they steamed them in foil- so random), and the team squeezes lemon over them and exclaims how arm-azing they are. Even Snorts, which is ironic, because they have so many things he is allegedly allergic to. Dairy (butter), citrus, chicken... Ricardo claims the tamales (not Snorts' food allergies) are legit, as well as a Fanny commenter. Well, colour T Rex shocked, as I've never eaten a tamale with capers, olives and covered in lemon. A shot of the bread, which looks lovely. The team gives cheers with the good wine Andrew and Ricardo brought- "Merry Advent Everyone!" Le fin. Final thoughts- it was pretty lame for an Advent vlog, and could have very well have been shot in August. Props to Andrew to make something nice for Ricardo.
