“What do you call those things you blow and make a wish?”/“Breathalyzers.”

“My friend: ‘What do you call those things you blow and make a wish?’ Me: ‘Breathalyzer?’” is a joke that has been printed on many images. A birthday cake has candles, which the person celebrating a birthday makes a wish and then blows out. A wish before blowing on a breathalyzer is that the person is not charged with being intoxicated.
 
“What are those things you blow to make a wish?”/“Sugar daddies” is another joke that has been printed on many images. The “sugar dating” provides money or gifts for sexual favors.

Wikipedia: Breathalyzer
A breathalyzer or breathalyser (a portmanteau of breath and analyzer/analyser) is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC), or to detect viruses or diseases from a breath sample.
 
The name is a genericized trademark of the Breathalyzer brand name of instruments developed by inventor Robert Frank Borkenstein in the 1950s.
