Home Trends 20 oz Vanilla Candle

This candle was bought at my local Wal-mart for 4.97.It smells very nice and strong so I thought I was getting a good deal.However, the candle is burning straight down the middle, leaving A LOT of unburned candle wax around the outer edge of the candle.It appears that less than 25% of this candle is actually burning.

I have bought similar candles from Candle-lit and did not experience this.They, too, were 20 oz jar candles in a very similar shape jar, ie same circumference and height.The Candle-lit candles burned the entire candle, leaving no extra candle wax except in the very bottom.I thought that the Home Trend Candle would burn the same since they both have one wick burning the same circumference. I was WRONG! I am very disappointed.

I will probably not buy this candle again.I feel as if there is too much wasted candle in this jar.
