Sorry to have kept all you guessers waiting.

I came across the term whilst investigating Christmas crackers.

Christmas crackers or bon-bons are an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, as well as the United States of America to a lesser degree. They are also popular in Ireland. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper. The cracker is pulled by two people, and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang or snapping sound produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip (similar to that used in a cap gun). One chemical used for the friction strip is silver fulminate,[1] which is highly unstable.

Very chewy, hence the saying: 'Two bons don't make a bite.'

I was looking to see when, and why, those daft parer hats appeared.

Hence

Early 1900's - "Tom Smith's youngest son, Walter, also introduced the paper hats, many of which were elaborate and made of best tissue and decorative paper on proper hatmakers stands."

'It was the crackle of a log as he threw it on his fire that gave him the flash of inspiration which eventually led to the crackers we know today.'

Interesting stuff.
