With spaghetti, you no longer need those long matches!

You know those long glasses you can put candles in? They’re super popular, but how on earth do you light those candles properly? Without a long match it’s practically impossible to do it without burning your fingers. Luckily, there’s a handy trick to easily light that candle anyway!

We had no idea this was possible!
