Hangry Candle Co.

Chef Ru was born in a mountain village in Northwest Montana in the late 1970s. His parents instilled in him a love for food and anger management at a very early age. He could often be seen wandering the streets with a bag of day old donuts that he would give to people experiencing Irritable Caloric Emotion Syndrome (ICES).

In 1999 Chef Ru moved to Savannah, Georgia to work with his partner Dr. Auna Jones to study the effects hunger in relation to ICES. In 2002 the pair coined the word HANGRY (a portmanteau of hungry and angry) and published their findings in the July issue of Food Psychology Magazine.

Today, Chef Ru produces food scented candles as a way to convince the human body it is not in a state of ICES. Burning a HANGRY candle can help ease the most aggressive cases of hanger until actual food can be ingested.
