It's been suspected that Gwyneth Paltrow was creating a chocolate range inspired by her famous This Smells Like My Vagina candle, but unfortunately, it isn't true. Reports surfaced that the 50-year-old A-lister had filed documents for the products, with the reported documents alleging that the chocolate range would be called This Tastes Like My Vagina.
However, a representative for Gwyneth has confirmed to The Agency that Goop is not planning on launching any products in the chocolate category, leaving us all a bit disappointed. The Sun had reported that the paperwork was filed to the US Trademark and Patent Office, with government attorneys reviewing the papers. The outlet alleged that the application covered both 'candy and chocolate'.
In 2020, Gwyneth definitely left people a smidge baffled when she released a candle called This Smells Like My Vagina via her Goop lifestyle brand. It went on to sell out on the Goop website and became a fan favourite. Gwyneth revealed that she made the candle to challenge the idea that 'women have been taught to have a certain amount of shame about their body'.
But back in 2021 one fan got a fright when said candle reportedly caused an ‘inferno’ in their home. A spokesperson for Goop responded to the incident and said that they are in touch with the woman to see if she followed the safety instructions included with the candle.
It's a shame that Gwyneth's chocolate range won't be coming to shelves, but let's take a moment to remember the words of the actress and embrace the idea that she was trying to challenge the idea of shame around the female body.
