  1. You’re kidding! These are my favourite 🤩

  2. That’s the best cracker prize! Put in on your palm and watch it curl up.

  3. Not seen one of those in years. Didn’t know they were still a thing. It’s a fortune telling fish.

  4. Wtf that’s the BEST cracker pull

    Hours of fun with that little guy

  5. Yup im with the other guy, if i dont have a chance of winning one of these im frankly not bothered! Except for the hats, i still dig the hats!!!

  6. Definitely my favourite! This year I got a DIY origami frog. A piece of paper to fold up into a frog, and another piece of paper with the instructions.

  7. One of the kids love these couldn’t find them anywhere!

  8. Fortune teller fish are at least a little bit of fun to pass around at the dinner table.
    I’ve seen some real stinkers, especially from newer crackers advertising themselves as plastic-free that give you a bit of bit of paper as a bookmark.

  9. I love these things. Especially the year my aunt decided to become Christian (didn’t last) and denounced it as an “occult item” and got angry that companies would distribute these on a Christian holiday. I’ve never laughed so hard at Christmas dinner than the whole family cracking up at her going red in the face over a bit of cheap plastic tat!

  10. What’s wrong with you ? Rather this then a paper 5 inch tape measure

  11. The magic fish! I’ve not seen one of those for years.

  12. Worst cracker pull going, also doesn’t know what it is.

  13. That must have been from a cracker that’s been in storage for 30 years…

  14. Erm, no now you have the tool for a lucrative fortune telling business.

    Yes, you will need to smash your moral compass to pieces but big bucks are coming your way!

    My little plastic film fish told me so.

  15. I had a cracker yesterday and the ‘prize’ was literally a yellow square of paper.

    There were a few crackers like this which lead me to think it was all intentional!

  16. Instantly got nostalgia seeing this.

    They used to mesmerise me as a kid… I’d be chuffed to get one!

  17. Gawd, that brings me back! I also fondly remember a bit of paper with a Humpty-Dumpty type character printed on it. You folded the base to enable it to sit vertically and inserted a tiny 2cm rod, thinner than an uncooked spaghetti strand, into the character’s mouth. Then your grandad would light the end and *voila!* it would blow tiny perfect smoke rings! Early 1970’s since you ask.

  18. I’m more interested in getting a go on your time machine.

  19. Oh my God…. This thing.

    When I was 7 we had one and we all had a go on it. It curled up in different ways for different people until my Grandad’s turn where it just lay flat. On the bit of paper it had a jokey little “Nothing happens: Dead” where all the explanations for what everything means was. Everyone laughed.

    He died that night. Ambulance called Boxing day morning. It’s all I can think about when I see them.
