It's Mitt Romney's party,Hong Kong Archives and he can blow out his candles however he wants to.

Senator Mitt Romney posted a video on Twitter showing his staffers surprising him with a cake for his birthday on Tuesday made out of his favorite snacks, Twinkies.

Now, we're not going to unpack Romney's favorite food opinions, but the rest of the video seems like a fairly normal birthday surprise. They sing "Happy Birthday," he jokes about eating the whole cake, and then things get, uh, interesting.

Romney displays an unusual technique to blowing out the candles. Instead of just blowing them out in one go, he plucks them off the cake and proceeds to blow them out individually, one by one. The whole process takes an only slightlyawkward 30 seconds.

Just like the candles on the cake, Twitter was ablaze with opinions.

Although some on Twitter soon jumped to his defense, arguing that he was going for the more sanitary route.

And they may have a point — scientifically speaking, blowing out birthday candles may actually increase cake bacteria by up to 1,400 percent. Yum.

UPDATE: March 12, 2019, 4:57 p.m. EDT TMZ caught up with Mitt Romney and asked him about his candle-blowing technique — he ultimately confirmed Twitter's theory, stating "I have a bit of a cold and I didn't want to spray my germs all over the twinkies for everybody else to eat!" Mystery solved!
