Artificial birthday candles that have micro LEDs as the flames. With a tap, they light up in festive colors with a realistic flicker.
Make a wish and blow! An internal filament switch reacts to a hearty puff of air and extinguishes the candles.
You might miss that candle smell- but safer for kids, no candles melting down to the icing because they were lit too soon, and no smoke alarms going off on your 40th.-- wombat, Aug 08 2003 They are cheaper than AAAA's.-- wombat, Aug 09 2003 When do we start production, [jutta]?-- Klaatu, Jan 06 2004 I'll have to agree with this idea. I used to joke about people who used artificial Christmas trees -- I've been using one for the past three years and like it better every year. I like this for the same reasons.-- mack2, Jan 06 2004 You do realize that the "Happy Birthday" lyrics are probably copyrighted even though the tune lapsed into the public domain decades ago?
I'd like to see a restaurant sing: . . You're birthday's today. . . What more can we say? . . The tune's out of copyright; . . ASCAP go away.-- supercat, Jan 15 2004 random, halfbakery
