Bizzy_Lizzy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Back in the 80's my dad bought my 3 brothers and I an enormous teenage mutant hero turtle christmas cracker that filled the living room, it was around 5ft and packed with turtle goodies from hats and figures to stickers and games. to us as kids it was the most amazing gift ever and seems to become a talking point every christmas! I would love to share this experience with my kids does anyone know where i could purchase a gigantic 5 ft christmas cracker?? It doesn't have to be filled with goodies as i could fill it myself although it would be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Were the turtles even around in the 80s? I remember the cartoon started in 1990. Just googled giant christmas cracker but couldn't find one as big as 5ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cheaper to make 1 anyway probably Think this is what im going to have to do, i've managed to get hold of a 5ft fabric tube i just need one of the bangy things that go off when its pulled then i can get to work filling it! I'm actually quite excited about it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not sure about crackers but my satsumas are big this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Are you sure it was that big? You being small at the time and all that? My Nan used to get MASSIVE birthday cards that I could build a house out of, turns out they were only like those 'large' ones you get for 99p from the Card Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonymagic Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just put lots of normal cracker snaps together, remember your tube only needs to be a 2/3 rds of Your cracker at the most, good luck with it, you will probably enjoy making it more than the kids pulling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
