I liked the tiny compass that used to be in the boxes.

Got 3 of ‘em somewhere in all this junk.

Last summer I was digging in a old farmers bottle dump and found a old baby food jar filled with vintage Cracker Jack toys. I still have them.

they just destroyed there brand....if I owned the company I would sell the standard box with standard cheap toy but I would also sell a premium version and a super premium. the premium would have a random toy that was actually more expensive then the Carmel corn. and the super premium would have things like the key to a brand new car or a diamond ring. the super premium would be meant to be used as a gift to be given to a love one. the pricing for the crackerjack would vary according to the prizes offered

The Old World is dead, mankind soon to follow.

This is pitiful.

Might as well. The last 3 or 4 boxes of Cracker Jacks I got the “toy” was a sticker. At least if it’s a link to DLC it might not suck.

The Crackerjack gift toy has mostly been replaced by folded up comic strips, like Bazooka Bubblegum, or other lightweight, paper products. I used get pin ball games out of those boxes, or toys that made noise.

I didn't know they still had prizes, or even that Cracker Jack still existed.

Digital codes - tracking.

Want to retain that little slice of Americana do ya? Make sure to pay cash, forgo the prize, and chomp down on your subversive little treat in a sound-proofed, darkened closet.

Have a nice day! :)

(Well maybe not, what with store surveillance cameras. Guess you'll have to find a black market, heh.)

Without reading the comments, here's my comment: Kids today might eat a whole package of Cracker Jacks, but they can't sit through a whole baseball game.

Another comment: Most of the baseball diamonds in this area have been replaced with soccer pitches.

Cracker Jack tastes like cardboard! The prize was the only reason to buy the product.

Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize digitally-coded sticker... That's what you get with Cracker Jacks!
