9 October 2026 · Copy for the three new Cook Candle videos. They go into the Cook campaign together and share one set of texts. All five texts say the same thing, that the Cook Candle clears cooking smells and comes in a Pott you refill, each written a different way, so we can see which way of telling it sells best. Two are your approved texts from September, kept word for word. Edit anything straight on the page, mark each line and each video approved or rejected, then press Send.

Is Cook still called peppermint? The candle refill label in Video 1 says "Wild Mint". Your Cook page and every text here say peppermint, and the other two videos say "fresh mint". If the scent has been renamed, tell us and we will change "peppermint" throughout before anything goes live.
Keep the bedside table shot in Video 3? Near the end of Video 3 (about 16 to 19 seconds) the Cook Candle is lit on a bedside table. It is fine to run, but since Cook is the kitchen candle you may prefer to trim it. Happy either way, just let us know.

Cold UK audiences in the Cook campaign. Existing customers are left out, so most people seeing these will be new to Pott.

All three videos already explain what Cook does: it clears cooking smells rather than covering them, with a fresh peppermint scent. So the texts do not repeat that word for word. They add what a video cannot show on its own: a real customer saying it worked, the handmade Pott, and the refill. The two texts that have sold the most Cook candles since September stay exactly as you approved them, and three new ones are tested against them. Meta shows each text to different people, so after a couple of weeks we will know which way to write future Cook ads.
Which writing structure each text uses, and what it tells us
Question firstYour approved September text that opens on garlic and onion. It has sold the most Cook candles since September, so it is the one to beat.
Review firstOpens with a real customer review. The videos tell people what Cook does; this adds someone who bought it saying it worked. A win means every Cook ad should carry a review.
Moment firstOpens on the moment everyone knows: plates cleared, kitchen still smells of dinner. A win tells us to describe the smell rather than ask about it.
Buy once firstYour approved September text that opens on buying the Pott once. The second best Cook text since September.
Short copyTwo sentences and nothing else, letting the video do the talking. A win tells us people want less reading under these videos.
