Stretch the balloon over the rim of the bottle, then lift it up. When the baking soda mixes with the vinegar, carbon dioxide is created and then captured by the balloon. Carbon dioxide has the ability to suffocate a flame. So I'm going to release the CO2 into a graduated cylinder, pour it over the candle, and see what happens.
