Carbon dioxide extinguishes flames, but you've never put out a candle like this,

before.

Carbon dioxide is a gas that we interact with every day. For instance, CO2
enables plants to perform photosynthesis, you exhale CO2 when you breathe,
and CO2 can extinguish fire. You probably knew all those facts, but did you know
that you can get really science-y and extremely creative when putting out flames
with CO2? It's as simple as pouring the gas onto fire. Pouring? You better believe
it!
