Why Blowing Out Birthday Candles Might Be a Bad Idea

Blowing out candles on your birthday cake is a great American tradition, but is it really a good idea? At Inside Edition, the office recently threw 25-year-old Elissa Bonito a party. Though it was hard to tell, Bonito was feeling a little under the weather, coughing, sneezing and blowing her nose all week. Inside Edition decided to test whether blowing out the candles on her cake could leave germs that would be transferred to others when they eat the cake.
