At a time when people are already celebrating birthdays differently, the Birthday Wishing Wand has the potential to be easily adopted into celebratory rituals. A study from the Clemson University Department of Food, Nutrition and Packaging Sciences found that blowing out the candles on a cake resulted in 1,400% more bacteria on the outer icing of the cake. Fittingly, these limited-edition candle snuffers are being made available on Main Event Entertainment's 22nd birthday.
