To help celebrate sandwich shop Erbert and Gerbert celebrate their 20 year of making "subs worth discovering," Dustin Black and friends built this amazing contraption: Candle Cannon, the world’s most powerful air vortex cannon. Why? To blow the birthday candles, of course!

    So cool. It would have been nice to know the science behind it though. The funniest part was seeing how excited everybody got after each attempt.
