When I was working at Yankee Candle, there was a woman who worked there (God, I cannot remember her name, though). She was very sweet — always willing to listen — and I was having problems with my ex. Since we had a lot of downtime at Yankee, we got to share a lot of personal things about each other and generally got to know everyone else pretty well. We were restocking candles and I went on a tangent.

After hearing my relationship issues, she said to me, “That’s nothing ipecac can’t fix,” and schooled me in the way she keeps her husband in line: “It makes them throw up all day long.”

I laughed, because it was way over the top and I figured she was kidding.

She nonchalantly placed a candle on the shelf.

And that’s how I learned about ipecac.
