This video will prepare you for the effects of a sparkler candle
Perhaps we should leave the sparkler candles for birthday celebrations at restaurants?
As the years go by, you want to make your baby's birthdays special and unique in some way or the other.
So, of course, it is normal for parents to go out and get balloons, special candles, and a cake. But it seems sometimes keeping things to a bare minimum can have its benefits.
We say this after watching a video on TikTok of a mom holding her son in front of his birthday cake. The cake had a number four sparkler candle on top (similar to a sparkler that you get from SPUR on your birthday). But this one was in the shape of the number four.

While mum sat with her four-year-old son who waiting patiently for his candle to be lit, we see dad struggle to light the candle.
He switched to using a lighter after failing to see anything happen while using a match. When he uses the lighter, we just see the birthday boy shouting out to his parents that he could smell the smoke.
Then, suddenly, the four sets alight and the sparks come out, shocking the whole family. Luckily, mom swiftly pulls her son back and they are safe.

Luckily, mom shared that this did not scar the young boy on his birthday and he got to have a traditional candle-lighting celebration.
Just as a warning, this could've ended up way worse than it did, so be careful.
