Goop's new sold out $75 vagina-scented candle sparks a wave of funny online reactions

It's only January, but 2020 is already shaping up to be one of the most bonkers year yet.

To kick off the decade with a viral bang, Gwyneth Paltrow announced a new Goop candle, which wouldn't exactly be big news (after all, Goop is also behind offering an entire Spanish village in its gift guide along with a $90k space trip and a bondage kit).

But this particular candle is $75 and is the "This Smells Like My Vagina Candle," catapulting said candle to Twitter infamy. But if you were hoping to procure your own, you're out of luck - it's already sold out.

You can't have your very own Gwyneth candle, but you can at least peruse the best responses to her new scent.

One involved The Rock, who actually joked that he wanted to create his very own raunchy scent.

Other people get political.

One woman brought up her own time at the diner chain Denny's, which is probably the least Goopy place on the planet.

Unfortunately, no flying cars yet - Back To The Future could never have imagined this candle (and probably wouldn't have wanted to anyway).

Exclusive footage of Gwyneth's next endeavor.

Comedian David Cross got in on the action.

Some people just have questions that will probably never be answered.

Okay, a lot of people have questions.

She's inspiring some folks to go DIY.

One creative Twitter user compared Gwyneth to many candles, not just her own personal one. Perhaps she'll launch a Yankee Candles collaboration next.

Speaking of that collab...

Careful what you order on the internet.

Maybe this is why the candles instantly sold out.
