Crackers are usually shared between two individuals, one pulling on each end. With the ends firmly gripped, the cracker is slowly pulled apart using steady pressure and a twisting motion. This will usually tear the cracker open along one of the gathers and activate the “cracker snap” producing a small **BANG**. To ensure that the cracker pops, we recommend that the thumb and fore-finger are used to pin the “snap” against the inside wall of the cracker end while pulling apart. A set of instructions describing the technique for pulling crackers is included in each box of our crackers.
