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.

What were the first Christmas crackers made up of?
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.
