As a teen, one of my first jobs was "Order of the Arrow" coordinator at a Boy Scout Camp. This involved making the ceremonial fires, giant coffee can 'candles' made of strips of cardboard and wax in a coffee can, and torches.

The torches were made of maxi-pads dipped in wax then wired to long sticks. then wax dipped strips of canvas wrapped around to hide all that.

A teen boy rolling up to checkout with a cart full of the largest size maxi-pads they had surely raised some eyebrows. lol.
