(Ok - bad pun...) [Erbert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-goliath) and Gerbert's sandwich shops are turning 20 this year, so they couldn't let the occasion pass by without a [birthday cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-craze). But to [blow out the candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch), they decided to really do it up right. They built what they claim is the worlds largest and most powerful air vortex cannon! And, as the video vividly demonstrates, it does the job well! This thing looks like pure fun! You know...I might have to build one! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Air Vortex Cannon:** Opportunity for creating new entertainment experiences through air vortex cannon technology. - **Birthday Celebrations:** Opportunity for businesses to innovate unique ways of celebrating milestones and engaging customers. - **Large-scale Fun:** Opportunity for creating large-scale interactive experiences that bring joy and excitement to audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Restaurant Industry:** Opportunity for restaurants to differentiate by incorporating innovative and memorable birthday celebrations. - **Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity for entertainment venues to incorporate air vortex cannon technology for immersive experiences. - **Event Planning Industry:** Opportunity for event planners to offer unique and memorable celebration options using disruptive technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatulence-Firing Toy Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttheads-fart-launcher-3000.md) - [Edible Birthday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/let-them-eat-candles.md) - [Edible Butter Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-candle.md) - [Canadian Creator-Approved Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hacksmith.md) - [Animated Show-Inspired Butane Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butane-torch.md) - [Mischievous Scent Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scent-blaster.md) - [Creator-Backed Toy Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrbeast.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joya-x-dominique-ansel.md) - [Supersized Celebration Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbs-colossal-cupcake.md)
