'Why not every day of the year, asks Alex Horne?

Alex Horne has launched a range of Taskmaster Christmas crackers, each containing three challenges for the dinner table and beyond.

Already 18,000 boxes have been sold, to fans as far afield as Australia, Thailand, South Korea and Iceland.

Each box contains six crackers, and cracker each contains a secret task, a Christmas dinner table task and an after-dinner team task, as well as a hat, snap, joke, and paper duck.  Also included in the box is a group final task and a pop out Taskmaster trophy.

The crackers have a pineapple design, and someone has worked out that those so far sold contain 1,944,000 printed pineapples.

Taskmaster creator Horne said: ‘’m really pleased, and obviously amazed, that so many people want to get their hands on the Taskmaster crackers. 

‘But I do always think, why only have crackers at Christmas? These can be enjoyed every day of the year, with breakfast, lunch or tea. So order yours today and make all your mealtimes slightly more enjoyable again.’

They are currently on sale for £20 as part of a Black Friday deal on Amazon.
