@ri_science: These silly prank candles contain a surprising piece of science history 🎂   Magnesium was first isolated here at the Royal Institution in 1808. Since it ignites at relatively low temperatures, it can make candles relight after they're blown out!   #Science #SciTok #ScienceTok #Chemistry #ChemistryTok #ChemistryDemo #Magnesium #LearnOnTikTok #TodayILearned #TIL

So how do you "blow" it off? Is it just by "starving" it from oxygen (placing a cup over it)?
