Was you happy with your Christmas Crackers?

The look of disappointment for winning some old tat is always amusing.

Ours were great, sister makes them. Full of sweets I got some haribo and lindor out of mine.

Purchased ones are a waste of money, you never get anything good in them no matter what cost.

Just imagine if you had a choice which threads you participated in. Hmmm.

Not worth the 300 quid, absolutely quackers.

This year we had suggestions for ‘20 questions’ (i.e. guess the person with only yes/no questions allowed). We went through them all so I guess… good job, crackers!

Uther · 30 Dec 2022 at 09:51

First year we didn't bother with crackers. Didn't feel like we missed anything.
OP I think you already have access to the MM.

I got a 100mm paper ruler... Seriously..

Feek · 30 Dec 2022 at 09:57

Crackers are rubbish now, they've gone all Greta and removed the fun little toys they used to have and just have stupid paper puzzles and tat like that. Very disappointing. I miss the curly fish and the jumping frog.

I get the hint, i'll stop making topics to try and stimulate light-hearted conversations...

peterwalkley · 30 Dec 2022 at 11:10

Didn't have them this year and to be honest I only just realised when I saw the thread title ! Quite happy to give them a miss, waste of money for cheesy tat.

mini gold bulldog style clip in mine - used it to repair the ripped party hat that came with it

Cornubia · 30 Dec 2022 at 11:21

Ours were full of cheap plastic tat. Kind of a waste but the kids love them.

Crackers.
Un recyclable
Unwanted
Awkward peer pressure about wearing the hat
Awkward telling of the joke, I use the term joke, loosely
The the guaranteed tat. Ooh look a red temperature changing fish

Amazing! Least they make awkward meals less? , more? Awkward
