Close your eyes for a moment. It's Saturday morning. You're in your pajamas. The TV is on — cartoons, obviously. And in your hands? A bowl of the most gloriously sugary cereal your parents probably shouldn't have let you eat.
For most kids of the 80s and 90s, that was the ritual. The sacred Saturday morning routine. And while the cartoons may have changed and the cereal boxes have gotten smaller, that deep, nostalgic love for those sweet, crunchy bowls? That never left.
At OverSoyed, we've always believed that fragrance is one of the most powerful triggers of memory. A single scent can transport you across decades in an instant. So when we set out to create our newest collection, the answer was obvious: we had to bottle Saturday morning.
Meet the Cereal Bowl™ Candle Collection
The OverSoyed™ Original Cereal Bowl™ Signature Collection is a love letter to childhood — 12 fabulous fragrances inspired by the iconic cereals that shaped a generation. Whether you were a chocolate cookie devotee, a cinnamon toast loyalist, or a fruity loop fanatic, there's a scent in this collection that will take you right back.
A few fan favorites to get you started:
- 🍪 Chocolate Cookie Crunch — Rich, warm chocolate with the unmistakable scent of freshly baked mini cookies. Dessert for your nose.
- 🍂 Cinnamon Toasties — Sweet cinnamon sugar with a toasty, buttery warmth. Like a hug in candle form.
- 🌈 Loopy Hoops — A burst of bright, fruity sweetness that's as cheerful as the colors in the bowl.
All 12 fragrances are available in three sizes — perfect for building a candlescape, gifting, or sampling your way through the collection.

Why OverSoyed™ Soy Candles?
Not all candles are created equal — and we've spent over a decade perfecting ours. Here's what sets OverSoyed apart:
🌿 100% All-Natural Soy Wax Every candle is handmade-to-order and hand poured with our proprietary blend of domestically sourced soy wax. Unlike paraffin candles — made from petroleum and known to release carcinogenic substances — our soy wax is natural, renewable, and supports American farmers.
💨 Cleaner Burning Our soy candles burn with little to no soot, keeping your jars, walls, and air clean. No black residue. No harsh chemicals. Just pure, beautiful fragrance.
⏳ Longer Lasting Soy wax burns slower and cooler than paraffin, meaning your candle lasts significantly longer. It's a smarter investment — and a better experience.
🌸 Better Scent Throw Because soy burns slowly, fragrance is released gradually — creating a consistent, pleasant atmosphere rather than an overwhelming initial blast. And every fragrance we use is 100% Phthalate Free.
5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Cereal Bowl™ Candle
- Trim your wick to ¼" before every lighting. This ensures a clean, even burn and prevents excess soot or mushrooming.
- Let the melt pool reach the edges of the jar on the first burn. This is called a "full melt pool" and it prevents tunneling — ensuring you get every last hour of burn time.
- Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Give your candle (and yourself) a rest. Extinguish, let it cool, trim the wick, and relight.
- Create a candlescape. Mix the 3 oz., 8 oz., and 14 oz. tumblers together on a tray, fireplace mantle, or coffee table for a layered, editorial look. The Cereal Bowl™ Collection looks especially stunning grouped together.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Soy wax can soften in heat, and UV light can affect fragrance and color over time.
