Invented
by
Taranaki
teenager
Ayla
Hutchinson,
this
kindling
cracker
is
number
001
off
the
production
line.
It
was
put
up
for
auction
on
TradeMe
and
the
bidders
went
wild.
Along
with
numerous
comments
of
support
for
Ayla's
enterprise,
the
price
continued
to
rise.
The
kindling
cracker
finally
sold
for
an
impressive
$1000,
to
another
local
Taranaki
person.
It
was
passed
on
with
a
certificate
of
authenticity.
Ayla
used
the
proceeds
to
purchase
two
IPads
to
keep
up
with
the
influx
of
sales
and
marketing.
Three
years
down
the
track,
with
the
kindling
cracker
business
well
established,
the
kindling
cracker
was
returned
to
Ayla
who
in
turn
gifted
it
to
Puke
Ariki.
