Cleveland, OH, Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Birthday wishes come in many forms, and arguably one of the most important wishes on the big day is the one made by the guest of honor while blowing out their candles. The latest invention from American Greetings adds a bit of deliciousness, some super-cool technology, and whole lot of laughs to this essential part of the celebration with new Mind Blowers™ birthday cards.

Hallelujah! Sing your praises for Mind Blowers! Available next month at your favorite retailers nationwide, this fun new line of cards features quirky, googly-eyed characters that burst into a celestial chorus when you blow out their candle. After pressing the button to light the candle, a hilarious food persona prompts you to make a wish and blow, triggering flashing lights and a song celebrating its greatness. With photographic characters, funny sentiments and heavenly hymns, Mind Blowers are sure to provide some divine entertainment.

Designs in this comical collection include a giant serving of bacon awesomeness, a burrito sending wishes for a birthday “filled with all the good stuff,” a huge slice of rainbow cake, and sweet sentiments to “bring on the chocolate.”

“Sharing experiences is what celebrating together is all about, and the Mind Blowers collection lets recipients have the fun of blowing out their birthday candle over and over again!” said Carol Miller, vice president of corporate innovation at American Greetings.
