My favorite birthday candles are the ColorFlame candles -- six different colors of flame! They are so cool.

Am I the noly person in the world that objects to people blowing spit all over a birthday cake trying to blow out candles?

Rachel.. I agree .. That's why individual cupcakes are so much better (and more sanitary).

Oh, thats right! I forgot about the thousands of deaths and illnesses each year related to spit covered birthday cakes. And the lighters are a joke, it's not like they are cigarette shaped or marketed towards children. You people suck the fun out of everything.
