File:How long will a birthday candle burn?-0

Description
Birthday candles can burn for a surprisingly long time. This video proves it.

This was conducted under ideal conditions (indoors, no wind, room temperature). Burn time may vary.

For example, the first time I tried this, the candle burned for 14:20 (14 minutes, 20 seconds). In this video, however, this candle burned almost 3 minutes longer.

For the record, this is a regular 2.5 inch long, 0.25″ diameter birthday candle. The kind that you put one candle on the cake for each year of age.
