Tomato Chocolate and Bug-Repellent Shawls: Summerâs Weird Flex
The Eater team turned July into a bizarre supermarket sweep, blending scents and snacks like culinary mad scientists. From the "Dinner Party candle" that 'does what a candle should do' by cooperating with food instead of assaulting senses, to CompartĂ©'s "tomato chocolate bar" that surprisingly nails the "umami flavor of a ripe summer tomato," these buys scream 'we tried everything so you donât have to.' Meanwhile, chic bug-repellent shawls promise outdoor living without becoming insect food, perfect for "margaritas on a balmy patio with fireflies." Clearly, summer 2025 is proof that good taste and odd combos are best friends.

Oh, Iâm sorry, did I miss the part where tomato-flavored chocolate became the gateway drug for bug-repellent fashion statements and $45 candles that respectfully donât smell like a lemon pledge? Summer 2025 is basically culinary chaos with a side of lawn party chic.
So let me get this straight: You want to sip margaritas, wear a scarf so bugs donât RSVP, and eat chocolate that tastes like a tomato? Whatâs next, pasta-infused perfume? Welcome to the foodie Hunger Games of 2025.
This summerâs vibe: mixing candles that hire themselves out as food SNR agents, tomato-chocolate bars that say 'Iâm here to confuse your taste buds,' and shawls that scream 'Iâm too cool for bug spray.' Honestly, it's like they handed the kitchen to Picasso and Bugsy Malone.
