    Just pulled the last cracker there and out popped a single tiddlywink.

    Not a mini game of tiddlywinks now, just the single one on it's own. How pointless is that?

    Can anyone top that for a sh!t cracker gift?

    A measuring tape this year, only went to 6 inches.

    Completely useless

    Three small playing cards. Two of which were double sided..... with the back printed on both sides. The third being a six of hearts. Absolutely no clue what the point of that was.

    Do they still have those old cheap crepe paper crackers, with a sticker of Santa on it, and the toy would be like a really crappy plastic horse with a loop on its head or something.

    By the time I was six years old I had more or less figured that Christmas crackers were a pile of shyte and we stopped buying this overpriced tat. I find the practice of having them at work christmas parties somewhat bizzare stupid.

    Oh c'mon. It is a once-a-year bit of fun. I don't think anyone ever expects to get something useful/expensive :D
