This is one of those traditions that is, well, kind of disgusting. Imagine if your server blew on your food before placing it on your table. Most of us would make a face and either send it back or enjoy the meal far less than we had planned on.
So why do we do the same with birthday cakes? Just because we know the blower, that doesn’t really make it any less gross.
And the absolute worst is little kids. You know the ones. It’s more of a spray than a blow. I usually end up politely declining the dessert, while wishing junior had his own separate cupcake to salivate upon to his heart’s content.
