Credit for the invention of the modern "Christmas Cracker" is typically given to London-based candymaker Tom Smith. History tells us Smith was inspired to develop a fun, promotional packaging for his bonbons (crackers were originally called "cracker bonbons") when he was surprised by a sharp crackle form the fireplace. These original crackers, first made in 1847, contained a bon bon candy and a motto on a piece of paper. The cracker itself hasn't changed much over the years: it is made of a carboard tube covered in a twisted paper wrapper. Friction and a chemically treated strip in between create the loud "POP" when the cracker is pulled apart.

What date was the first Christmas cracker made?
The first crackers were made by Tom Smith of London. Smith was a sweet maker who used to sell sugar almonds wrapped in twists of coloured paper - these were inspired by the "bon-bons" he had seen in Paris. To increase sales in his store, he began to include little mottoes inside, rather like a fortune cookie. The small explosive charge was added at an even later date to bolster sagging sales, this accompanied the disappearance of the candy and its replacement with a small gift.
