According to this guy, the tradition of blowing out candles is probably the worst tradition in the history of mankind.

The dude in the above video wants people to stop blowing those germs from their stanky breath all over the cake before cutting it up and serving it to a bunch of people, therefore making 'em sick. Instead, his solution is to wave the candles out.

Which is all well and good when you've only got three candles to blow out, but what happens when the 90-year-old celebrates a birthday? Or what about the person wearing long sleeves who gets a little too close to the flames and ends up a ball of fire?

Yeah, I think I'll just take my chances and keep blowing 'em out.
