As utterly cringeworthy it may be to don a paper hat and read out a horrendously bad joke, Christmas crackers are still an essential part of a family Christmas. But the Health and Safety officials have now taken the move to ban anyone under the age of 16 from purchasing a pack of Christmas crackers. Futhermore, anyone found selling crackers to someone underage could be fined up to £5,000 or sent to jail!
In fact, the law dictates that anyone who looks under the age of 25 should be asked for ID. Christmas crackers are now in the same category as fireworks. While it's probably best not to pull a cracker right in someone's face, it's not exactly in the same realm as a potentially lethal firework.
