Forget vanilla, cinnamon and fresh linen, a 13-year-old boy from Marysville, Ohio, has created a line of manly scented candles her calls “Man Cans”.

     Hart Main, the 7^th grade entrepreneur, has released a new line of candles which he says do not smell “girlie”. He launched his line this November with scents like Fresh Mitt, Pizza, Bacon and Sawdust.

      “My sister was selling candles for school and I realized how much I hated those scents and there weren’t any man scents,” said Main.

      Since beginning his company, Main has sold over 600 candles, which cost $2.50 in stores and $5.00 online. Local stores are currently carrying the candles, but he hopes to widen the sales market to large store changes like Walmart and Target.

     “This is crazy, but genius. I want to know where to get one because I would totally buy one,” said junior Julua Berg.

     All of this hard work has not gone unnoticed.

     “The story's gotten so big, I don't think people understand these are being made in a kitchen, by basically three people,” said Hart. His mother concluded with, “My favorite hair dryer was commandeered to fix imperfections in the surface of the wax.”

     The containers for these candles are Campbell’s soup cans which are donated by the local soup kitchen for the cause.

     The basketball and soccer player also says, "I'm trying to keep a 4.0, but I've missed a day and it's hurt my grade. I really don't have much spare time to play with friends."
