Crackers always seem to crack in the wrong place dont they?

A smidgen of cherry tomato, a bit of chutney, a nice bit of cheese, perhaps a slice of olive or so, perhaps a sliver of smoked salmon.... all down my front, every time

Why cant a cracker just crack where I put my teeth in it?

Perhaps there should be national standards to cracker recipes to avoid disasters like this?

It wouldn't kill them to put perforation marks in would it - so as to undermine the structure of the cracker so that it cracked in the correct places? Also if they made them visible you could put the toppings on accordingly - maybe a big cross and then you could put four toppings (ooh pizza meets cracker!) into the designated areas? I am totally with you on this. Plus I am pleasingly endowed with a 'chest shelf' so when toppings drop it practically takes an archaeology degree to retrieve them...

Totally agree, and this has been one of our biggest dilemma’s this Christmas as our toddler simply will not eat one if it’s cracked incorrectly and requires a new one each time. I’ll sign the petition!
