"Craquelin" sounds more French (even though it derives from Dutch).
However, I never heard anyone use this word (which would be perfectly correct) in my entire life.
Tout le monde dit "cracker" (usually followed by some brand name).
Une autre question?

Ceux "crackers" n'avait pas de nom. Not surprising, avec ces jokes - je n'y mettrais pas mon nom non plus.

C'est vrai. Les crackers français sont revolting according to ma chérie (qui est English). She can't help les acheter et elle est désapointée every time!
Moi, je think ils sont OK.
Anyway, je préfère manger le cheese avec du bread et du vin than avec des craquelins et du port...
C'est la vie.

We avons jete most of them a la poubelle.
Honestly though, there was a corny English joke and a corny French joke in each one. The pressies were cool, though. The hats were the usual. And they went "bang" in English. And they cost 6 euros for 8 so they were probably from last year.
Here's one that wasn't in them, which is an all time favourite.
I say, I say, my wife went to the West Indies
Je dis, je dis, ma femme est allee aux Indes de l'Ouest.
Jamaica?
Jamaique?
No, she went of her own accord
???
OK and here's a genuine one from zee genuine crackaire achete in Strasbooouur:
Journaliste: Vieil homme - est-ce vous avez habite ici toute votre vie?
VH: Pas encore.
Boum boum

Est-ce que you realise that je was parler des edible craquelins all the chemin, as tout le monde else was parler about les Noël crackers?
I jamais found une joke dans les edible craquelins (je mean apart from their intrinsèque existence!).
What est "Trillian" par le way?

Don't say you speak with a Frensh axon Loup - there are lots of gels likely to 
over that round here.

It is rumoured that Trillian and Arthur .... but never actually explicitly stated. Although there is living proof in Random, I suppose, but that's nothing to do with me.

Anyway, aucun craqueur (Noël or biscuit) is vraiment part of le Français way of vie.
Les jokes are mais most que je know would être modérées.
