While blowing out your birthday candles with your own breath is all well and good if you like your cake with spittle frosting, it's a lot more fun to do it with a gigantic air vortex cannon. Yep, an air vortex cannon, a huge device that fires puffs of air over huge distances.

And that's just what sub makers Eerbert and Gerbert did, building the largest air vortex cannon ever to blow out candles on a cake celebrating their 20th birthday. And it looks awesome. Launching smoke rings down the whole length of a warehouse, this is the coolest way ever to blow out your birthday candles. Your lungs now just seem wussy in comparison.
