Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think you should now put a video on youtube talking about your relationship with crackers ;)

Look at the drippy reviews under the crackers. People are so dim and sheep-like. Just because 'it's a tradition to buy crackers' they continue to shell out ridiculous amounts of cash every year for a bit of paper and a plastic toy. Even if I won the lotto I wouldn't buy this shit.

"Bought these to 'finish' off the table, they look absolutely lovely, hopefully the gifts inside will be of use too."

Of use for the bin yes.

Surely the reviews are from last year as Christmas Day hasn't happened yet?

Crackers.

Squirrel: Nope, they're all dated this year.

PQ: You might just have that assertion tested if you go for Christmas dinner at the house of 'Mouse'. "These Crackers are a lovely item. They are well presented with high quality items inside and enough room to insert a Lottery Scratch Card without doing any damage to them at all, making the family and friends Christmas day a even more fun. Finally they are not overly expensive for such a great quality product. You would have to be 'crackers' not to buy them."

That review - which clearly implies that the crackers were opened, or they wouldn't have been able to judge the "high quality items" - was dated 28 November.

I don't like crackers either but rest of the family do.
What can I get instead, to wean them off?
