Woolworths has come under fire over the contents of its range of “Deluxe” Christmas Bon Bons.
Sharing on social media, a shopper – who uses the handle @roymaloy4 – was gobsmacked when he took a closer look at the back of the $15 festive boy and saw what trinkets are included in each cracker.

The dubious gifts include a “piece of string”, a bulldog clip and a metal spring.
“I’m in Woolworths in the middle of November, a couple of months before Christmas,” he said in the video. “I get that, right.
“These bon bons are for sale and you get to see what’s in them by looking at the back.
“Let me show you what’s in these bon bons, right. There’s a spring with a paperclip, there’s what I presume is a bookmark.
“I have no idea what that is, I think it’s a piece of string. A padlock, if you need a padlock.
“Like it’s Christmas morning and you pull your cracker and you get tweezers.
“I get this one, it’s a keyring. And equally, that’s a bottle opener.
“But this is literally one of the prizes – a bulldog clip is one of the prizes.”
He picked up the box again and then repeated: “In one of these is a bulldog clip.”
In his caption, the shopper added: “As if price gouging wasn’t enough.”
Many social media users were just as shocked by the underwhelming bon bon trinkets.
“Sounds like they raided the junk drawer for that stuff,” one said.
Another added: “Gotta get rid of their excess office stock somehow.”
A third wrote: “What’s next, Q tips and Banana peels? This is one step above trash.”
One more added: “It’s like the factory forgot to buy little toys to put in there so they just used office supplies.”
