My favourite is still and will always be the negative reviews on Amazon for Yankee candles correlating with Covid outbreaks.

Just a guess based on "covid" and "candles", a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.

I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn't smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.

I realised I had it when I tried to drink my morning coffee and it tasted rancid because I had no smell
