When I'm visiting my family in Canada for Christmas I have to eat the ones I get quickly since I could get busted if I tried to bring them across the border.
I'm from the states, and I've never hear of or seen crackers before, until watching your vids Ashens.. then, I was at my local Walmart on New Years eve, and there they were, 6 for $10. I bought them and had a blast! I got everything you mentioned was rubbish, from the hat to the lame jokes. Thank you Ashens , for showing me these awesome yet crappy things!
Actually, the one with the paper in it WAS the joke! It's just not funny to the person opening it, where it's funny to the people who actually got one.
@ScyerZenovka That's alright. At least us Americans are still allowed to own guns. Not sure how it is in the UK, but you guys don't have any equivilant of the second ammendment to protect you from corporate enslavement. I'd rather have my trusty model 12 then some cheap piece of paper.
@jcrowley1985 :B "Us Americans"? I'm included in that...riiiiiiiiiight? Maybe you'd like to know how I know that AMERICAN Targets sell crackers? ...maybe it's because I'm *GASP* American? :P
@ScyerZenovka I was referring to the comment how ID is required to purchase what otherwise is a harmless fun item. And how American's can own a weapon designed to kill but needs the same type of safety checks to buy toys designed for children.
@Alkatross lol christmas crackers do exist at us. i live at us and bought two boxeds of christmas crackers at fred meyer during december. check at the safety firework shelf
This year we were given a set of 6 crackers (worth £20) and inside I got a mini USB mouse that actually works pretty well, the other prizes were ok but mostly useless like a single napkin ring, cheep looking cuff links and a wine stopper which was surprisingly heavy. as always the jokes were rubbish but hey at least we were united against them.
I tell you what Christmass gear I rediscovered recently, 'Indoor fireworks'.
Theyre great, what happens is you set one off, then 5 minutes later your all out in the back garden coughing your lungs up like a tear gas cannister has been set off in your house.
@KillaM701 - You know there are I ton of sad onion variations u can say.
I'm sure someone has said something similar but there's no way I'm going to read Every! Comment! on this video just to find out, so there just call me lazy then :)
i finally got it, its refereeing to fore (front) legs and two hind legs because we dont say fore legs we instead say front legs which is why almost no one got the joke
We got the Tesco ones shown here this year (the mid range ones with the grubby playing cards) and they were all just as shit as the ones shown. Other gifts included a plastic flower keychain, and a giant plastic paperclip 'bookmark'. However I suggest reviewing Harrods' 'Silver Bling Crackers' next year.. only £299 for 6! Bargain!
Swedish ones look so different, at least the ones I remember only had candy in them. No charge thing that blows and the ends are frilly. Quite liked them as a kid though we didn't have terrible toys and jokes in ours. :P
honestly, i would stick with the dollar, er, i mean pound land ones, i would rather a chance at a loud satisfying pop that may or may not follow safety regulations than slightly better quality nick knacks that i may or may not have a use for (except the bowling set, that is awesome)
This year, I got a puzzle in one of my crackers. It was one of those things where you're given two bent pieces of metal and a ring and told to get the ring out. After various members of my family completed the puzzle, I had a go and not being able to understand the stupid instructions I just pulled the cheap 'metal' apart and broke it... I then broke everything else that was in the other crackers (:
When you said the super expensive ones will come from M&S, probably not. I THINK that this year the M&S ones are a direct rip off of those "expensive" Tescos ones.
I have the same bottle opener that came from a cracker on my Keys :)
