Cracker grief manifests itself in many ways: Your gunpowder fails to ignite; You are left with 2 small ends and no middle; Your toy goes flying across the table and lands in the gravy; Your hat rips in half as you put it on; Your joke has been duplicated and someone else reads it out first. If I've forgotten any please add them!
The obvious one you missed is that you pull a really great quality cracker, and the toy, that you always fancied winning, every Xmas, ends up with the other person who doesn't give a **** about it, but retains it anyway.
Flip: we've only bought cheap crackers because we've saved all our money for a striker!!! #happyclappy

Last time I looked I believe ours was supposed to last 12 days.? So on Boxing Day when someone turns to you and asks if you've had a good Christmas, punch them in the gob and say you're still having yours. January 6th is when it's over. Apparently the Yuletide festival used to last 15 days.
