g. Eating Kerupuk Race
The Eating kerupuk race is done by hanging crackers on a rope tied to wood or bamboo. Crackers commonly used are white round crackers, called kerupuk. In various regions there are also those who use crackers plus rice, or jumbo crackers. The benefits of this race are to increase self-confidence. The history of the creation of this competition was inspired by the condition of Indonesian society in the colonial era. At that time, food was very difficult to find. Even finding rice and crackers at that time was a blessing. Crackers and rice are the favorite foods of warriors. So to commemorate this, the Eating kerupuk race is always held every August 17 celebration.
