Most margarines are today made with soy oil, some with corn oil. They have also been made with whale oil or lard. A lot of the oils we are talking about have also been used to make soaps. The problem with soy oil and corn oil is that they are changed to get a better "break point" so they have a better feel in the mouth when eaten.
When talking about the use in candles the melting point is higher so that the oil remains a solid for the needed use. The term "break point" is not really used for the higher melting wax like materials.
If wanted for your purposes, and interesting thought would be to refrigerate something like the olive oils that will tend to solidify sooner than most soy oils. Maybe you could make sexy popsicles out of some of these oils/waxes. Have you seen the forms used to make popsicles that look like little dicks. We could use those for molds to make those candles you like to look like dicks.
Let's go in business together: I can make them, if you can sell them.
The problem with petroleum candles is the soot and smoke that is given off. A lof of those set out in a home would put soot all over the place.
