For YEARS I would read books that mention Christmas crackers and I just assumed they were crackers as in the food item you eat topped with like sardines or a bit of cheese. To my utter embarrassment, an English coworker who just moved here asked me if we have Christmas crackers in America and I replied, "I wouldn't know, I can't eat them" (I have celiac disease and crackers (the food) usually contain gluten) and now I look like a fucking idiot
