Going a bit far this Elfin Safety lark but I do recall that mother always used to caution us kids not to hold the crackers close to our faces when we "snapped" them. I confess I tell my kids the same. Also not to play with the "Snaps" if they tear in the wrong place without going "CRACK". They can, like "caps" for cap guns, give a bit of a burn to young fingers.

You're not thinking of Rice Crispies are you...?  rubschin:

The world has gone mad tho...  noooo:

One one hand they're banning crackers... but I just heard on the wireless that they're introducing a system in Birmingham to detect and triangulate gun shots - to reduce shootings...  noooo:

How the feck can so many guns be on the streets to justify such a system when they are illegal...?  Banghead

Correct ~ I couldn't wait to be old enough to make the faulty "snaps" CRACK with my thumbnail the way my Dad could. I now do it in the full knowledge that the boys will also be itching to try it as soon as they can.  ;D
