People got in a flap over an ‘exploding’ Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle – the 14 funniest reactions

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop products continue to be Exhibit A in the ‘People will buy anything a celebrity tells them to’ debate.

Items such as Psychic Vampire Repellent Spray, the £95-dollar sex pillow (It’s just a small pillow) and the vibrator knecklace strengthen the argument considerably.

One of her more personalised products hit the headlines recently, when it almost caused a disaster.

Neither the woman in question, who had won the candle in a quiz, nor anyone else was hurt in the incident, so we don’t feel too bad about sharing the inevitable jokes.
