COLUMBUS, Ohio — Fans of White Castle's oniony hamburgers have a new way to indulge without any calorie guilt: a scented candle infused with the burgers' aroma.
The Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain this week introduced candles that smell like its Slider burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.
The candles resemble a packaged White Castle burger and are being sold at the company's restaurants and on its website. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a Slider's cardboard sleeve.

Reality Check: The Iron Man Whiplash Whopper at Burger King

Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man 2. Robert Downey Jr. is certainly having a good run of things lately. The red-and-yellow metal suit he sports is quite a change, too, from the prison orange we saw him in not ten years ago. Most probably thought that he was through—but unlike Nick Nolte or Gary Hart, Downey rose from the ashes. The phoenix in him masterfully recaptured the screen as, aptly, a flashy playboy-genius who reinvents himself as a superhero.
Burger King has partnered with the Iron Man film series to offer a promotional menu item called The Whiplash Whopper, named after the latest film's villain. In this writer's opinion, the new Whopper tries to harness the phoenix-like qualities of both Downey and Tony Stark, Iron Man's true identity. With Burger King serving the XT, the Whopper was almost forgotten, tossed in the corner like an old, forgotten Kid's Meal toy. But the Whopper is back, and it's better than ever.

I picked up the Whiplash Whopper at a drive-through, in a value meal with fries and a Dr. Pepper—I love reviewing things at BK because even if the burger is bad, the fries still rock—and stopped in the parking lot to savor my treat.
At first glance, it was unappealing. I can't hold that against it, though, as every fast food burger fails to live up to the image you see in the advertisements. The first bite was, in one word, underwhelming. (After the Smoky Cheddar XT, I had my expectations set high.) The slice of tomato was from the top of the fruit. It was flavorless, as they usually are, but on top of that, had the hard consistency of a bell pepper. Not what you expect from any tomato. Off it came.
But the next bite allowed me to enjoy the bun and the burger. The bun is a standard sesame seed Whopper bun, fluffy but more cake-like than bun-like. The meat of the bun was almost non-existent; in that regard, it doesn't compete with the XT. (I mean, come on, one Whopper patty?) The patty itself was unremarkable meat, standard Burger King fare.
After two bites, though, things changed. Barring the bad tomato, bland Whopper beef, and thick bun—let's face it, all standard—I started to really enjoy the burger on bite three. There's spicy mayo on the Whiplash, and it really has some kick. On top of that, there are hot crunchy fried red peppers. The heat and the crunch started to bring some of the flavor out of the burger. I could taste a bit more smoke (albeit laboratory-created smoke flavor). Washing the heat down with Dr. Pepper, and then diving in for more, I realized that the burger almost tasted like it had Buffalo wings on it. But as I continued, I refined that thought, and decided it tasted more like a burger with Hot Fries. Anyone ever had Hot Fries? Well, as far as this guy is concerned, it was an inspired combination: Andy Capp's Hot Fries with a burger.
I finished the burger, and audibly sighed, “Awesome”—even though I was alone in the car. I've never tasted heat like that before at a fast-food joint. It definitely needs more than one patty, because the toppings overwhelm the beef (unlike the XT, where there's a nice complement). But great heat and kick made for an unforgettable experience. Like Tony Stark, Iron Man, or Downey Jr. himself, the Whopper is back.

Photography in action
A great commercial photography portfolio is your calling card in the industry, and your ticket to winning clients and landing jobs as a professional photographer. Read on to learn 3 key tips that will help make your commercial photography portfolio shine, so prepare to start getting the gigs you need to advance your career. These commercial photography portfolio tips will take your clips to the next level, so that you can scale the ladder to your dream job.
1. Offer Your Commercial Photography Portfolio In A Variety Of Formats
When you hand out your commercial photography portfolio, one of the things it is crucial to communicate to a client is that when they hire you, you will do everything you can to make his or her life easy. You want to be seen as professional and responsive, and as someone who proactively anticipates your client's needs. One great way to make this impression fast is to have your commercial photography portfolio available in a number of formats, including in print, on CD, and online, as AllArtSchools suggests. When you follow this advice and have print, digital, and virtual clips available, your first question to a client can always be “What's easiest for you?”, a sentence that will be music to any prospective employer's ears.
2. Pitch Your Commercial Photography Portfolio Directly To The Job At Hand.
Instead of having one commercial photography portfolio, have several, one targeted to each kind of work you're hoping to do in your career. Have you taken some gorgeous nature images? That's great, but a client who's hiring for a fashion shoot won't care! A prospective employer will hire the person who seems most likely to do a great job on the specific project at hand, so make sure everything in the commercial photography portfolio you hand to a possible client is directly relevant to the task they'll need you to do. Try doing as PhotoCritic suggests, and put together a portfolio of just your fashion work, another that highlights your nature shots, another for photos you've taken of products, and so on for each genre you've got clips for, and are seeking work in. That way, as you move forward in applying for a variety of jobs, you'll always have your most specifically relevant work at your fingertips, ready to impress your next boss.
3. Include The Right Written Information In Your Commercial Photography Portfolio.
As Marketing For Photographers and Photography points out, you don't need to include much written information in your commercial photography portfolio. However, what you do put in can make or break a client's interest in your work. By reducing the amount of text, you help keep your prospective employer engaged with the images you're presenting, which is the goal of your commercial photography portfolio. You don't need to put forward the technical information for each picture, like your equipment choices or shutter speed, because the client only cares about your end result, not about the road you took to get the shot. You should offer a brief description of what each picture is, to provide some context, and a clean, professional, and specific title for each shot, so that it's easy for clients to reference a particular image in your commercial photography portfolio when they're in discussion with you, or with any colleagues who may be involved in making the decision to hire you.
