People Blowing out Camdles on Birthday Cakes: So Disgusting!

Candles

Some people will never recover from COVID. Just like GIs who never got over the war.

OP sounds fat.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear

Happy birthday to you!

Don't spit on the cake!

OP must be southern backwater.

Tbh I would never eat birthday cake someone has blown on now, but then I’m immunocompromised and still need to try to avoid germs like the plague. Oh, I miss simpler times.

OP sounds touched.

R6 sounds like she has a poor grasp of nutrition and immune systems

R7 I can almost guarantee I know more than you, sis.

I think we should all avoid germs like the plague but maybe that’s just me.

OP here, so often when there's a cluster of COVID cases, it comes from parties. Parties are risk enough, but who wants cake with spit blown all over it? The last birthday party I went to, there was cake but no candles. Good call. Luckily no COVID cases either.

I used to fart on the food that left my kitchen

I have eaten birthday cakes that have had their candles blown out by the honoree all my life!

For Pete's sake, some of you must be related to Howard Hughes.

That’s slander, R13!!

No I don’t eat spit cake. But I always wear my Kleenex box slippers when I take the Spruce Goose out for a jaunt.

How about you allow me to blow-fart your candles out next year?

Save your pee, r14!

Duh, R16. I use it to fuel the Spruce Goose.

And as an aperitif.

If it's your family/friends, who cares if they blow out their candles.

If it's for a larger group like a child's party or work or acquaintances only, I wouldn't do candles, or maybe 2 of those big ones with the numbers on them and use a snuffer to put them out.

I was party to a couple of COVID birthday gatherings.

At one the hostess handed the guest of honor one of those huge, old fashioned fireplace bellows to blow out the candles.

A couple of other times there was a main cake and then a single cupcake with candles for the singing.

I suggested to friends and family that we didn't return to blowing out candles post-COVID, but they accused me of being a killjoy.

That's why we just have the youngest person in attendance just pee the candles out!

Happy Birthday Klan Grannies

It's also a form of witchcraft. So please be sure to inform the evangelicals in your lives, at their next birthday event.

I still do.

At least you know the person blowing out the candles. Some person you don't know baked the cake, decorated the cake and boxed the cake up. People talk while they work, when you talk, small bits of spittle fly out of your mouth and land on the food your preparing.

This is the kind of screwball thread that makes DL great.
