Sadly, stuff just like that is what got Kinder Eggs banned. Bummer.

[LegendHasIt]

Oh, Fiddle-Faddle and Poppycock!

(which are so much better tasting anyway)

>>>How did we survive?<<<

I have no idea. No Seatbelts, No Bike Helmets, used to play with Mercury that came in my Chemistry Set.

I was also the Neighborhood “Supplier” for Firecrackers, Ash Cans and Cherry Bombs. I had a good sized Arsenal back then.

“Candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a bar code, that’s what you get in Cracker Jack!”

Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

[nascarnation]

Football I agree.
MLB has some pretty low cost seats in a lot of cities.

Just remembered, spent my Youth eating Chocolate Cigarettes and Bubble Gum Cigars.

Somehow with that evil influence I never Smoked.

No WAY is a digital code as much fun as finding the plastic toy!!! #crackerjacks #itsover

[Jack Hammer]

Meanwhile, whatever happened to Hostess Twinkies???

[Paved Paradise]

Funny.

I do not think I would qualify what is in the box as a “prize.” When I was a child, there were actually small toys...very cheap, but at least a real toy. My father told me that when he was a boy, there were actually little metal soldiers and the like. As a child, I thought that was so cool.

Big deal, the so called prizes were the absolute cheapest crapola for years now, there are many other brands of similar product that are better and a whole lot cheaper to buy, and make more sense to buy now thaat Cracker jack has blown up their brand.

[Bigg Red]

Jacks are not very good anymore. They went downhill about 30 years ago.

[Smokin' Joe]

Can’t play it on my older phone, It is a ‘ruggedized’ flip phone.

[Smokin' Joe]

Treasure!

[Daffynition]

Are they only banned in the USA?

[Daffynition]

Misspent youth. {{{sigh}}}

[Daffynition]

Howz’bout the peanuts? OMG! Run for your life!!!

Growing up, there was never, ever a kid with a peanut allergy. Evah.

[Daffynition]

If my house ever catches fire .... the explosion will be visible from space. [Jes sayin’]

[Daffynition]

Gee. I should have been suspicious when I got this wedding band

[Daffynition]

Early treasure. I think I saw somewhere that folks collect the *early* Monopoly player pieces too.
