So I'm guessing a competing company bought a bunch of bad reviews at the same time. But how did the second person put it in a graph? Is he really that passionate about protecting Yankee Candle from slander, or are those review reliability things more advanced than I thought...?

No worries man, I had just seen it before and recognized the context. I didn’t lose my sense of smell when I had covid either, but everything tasted awful.
