It’s a scene that plays out in millions of homes across the world every day. There’s a sense of anticipation as the lights go out, only for the room to be lit up by candles as a friend or family member brings in a yummy-looking birthday cake.

Guests start singing more or less in unison, more in less in tune, depending on how much alcohol has been consumed, and the birthday girl or boy politely waits until they finish before blowing the candles out.

When did the tradition start out? Why do we make a wish when we blow out the candles? Can blowing candles out over a cake spread germs? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
