An influencer has been left stunned after splashing £150 on luxury Christmas crackers that left him seriously underwhelmed.
Carmie Sellitto, who has 1.3 million TikTok followers, is known for testing pricey food and treats to see if they’re worth the cash.
And with December looming, the 26-year-old Londoner decided to try out Fortnum and Mason’s posh crackers to see whether the festive splurge delivered.

Carmie filmed himself opening the £150 box, captioning his video: “I can’t believe I spent £150 on this,” as reported by What’s The Jam.
He opens the bright blue box to reveal six white crackers tied with red bows.
“It better be worth it,” he says, getting a mate to help with the first pull.
Inside he finds a “high quality” paper crown and a box of four chocolate truffles.
He rates them seven out of 10.

The second cracker? More truffles. He calls them an “expensive Malteser” before moving on.
The third contains two chocolate owls which he slams as “a rip off”, though he admits the chocolate tastes great and gives it a nine out of 10.
Cracker four reveals two chocolate hedgehogs. “Pretty good,” he says, scoring them 7.5 out of 10.

The fifth contains a box of chocolates. “Pretty bougie,” he says. “Wow that is some of the best chocolate I’ve ever had. This is definitely the best so far, nine out of 10.”
The final cracker repeats the same gift: another box of chocolates.
“I’m a bit disappointed I can’t lie,” he tells viewers. “I don’t even think the things I got inside add up to £150. Like what’s up with that.”
His video has since blown up, racking up more than 557,400 views, 28,000 likes and 700 comments.
