♫ I don't care if my prizes get hacked ♫

All that does is to get the kids to sit on their phones more. Not good.

Whew! At least it's not going gluten-free.

The word Cracker is offensive and must be removed immediately, or I'll be sad.

Buy the kids a box of Cracker Jacks and when they get the prize, they'll spend many quiet hours sitting glued their phone. Used to be, we'd get maybe a joke, whistle or some trinket, then go outside and play. Next, they'll take away the sugar and gluten.

I think that the lawyers were behind this due to liability concerns about choking hazards of small toys.

The last time I ate this stuff, the cardboard box had more taste, and my "prize" was the single peanut that I found inside.

Pirateboy: you actually found a peanut in your Cracker Jacks! That means you've won a Golden Ticket to tour the factory.

Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a thing that I don't give a damn about.

Le Petomane: I told my wife at the time, "Quick call the company! Their string broke!"

Miss those toys in a box. When i got this for the kids, they only ever got temporary tattoos.
First Kinder Eggs, now this.... geesh.

"We are a brand that authentically reminds people of simpler times, childhood memories and family experiences"
Because being hunched over your smartphone and ignoring people you're with is the stuff of modern childhood memories and family experiences.

There's always Fiddle Faddle and Crunch'n'munch...
Seriously. My local supermarket still has some cinnamon Crunch'n'munch that they brought out for Christmas.
