The Rock Jokes About Making Genital-Scented Candles Like Gwyneth Paltrow

If you hadn't heard about them, you have now. They were being flogged for $75 (£57) a pop and they have SOLD OUT.

Responding to the post, the 47-year-old wrestler-turned-actor joked - I think - that he had tried to create such a product in the past, but it hadn't quite gone to plan.

He wrote: "Brother I tried to make those candles but I kept burning my balls. So I moved on to shampoo."

Now there's an image for us all to enjoy. He also added the hashtag '#scentofsac', which I think really adds a certain something to the story.

Next thing you know, the OG-genital-scented-candle-maker Paltrow herself was getting involved.

She said: "This is f****ing priceless."

Unlike her vagina candle then, which you could have got for the sum of $75 - if it wasn't sold out.

Indeed, Johnson may have been joking about making a sack-scented candle, but who's to say it wouldn't sell? On paper, you'd think nobody would want to relax in a bathroom that smells like The Rock's wrestling trunks drying on a radiator, but then who predicted people would be clamouring for a vag-candle?

Paltrow's unfathomably popular creation started out as a bit of a joke between her and perfumer Douglas Little.

The Goop website explains how the actor blurted out, "Uhhh, this smells like a vagina," as the pair were working on a fragrance. The description goes on to say that the candle 'evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent'.

Yes, you read that right - it has a 'funny' scent, apparently.

So, what exactly does a funny vagina scent smell like I hear you ask? Well, according to Paltrow it's a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes, juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed.

Now I don't know about you, but I reckon that's gonna smell pretty damn hilarious.
