Oh my, the wokesters are working hard. The latest to fall is Cracker Jack. They've been renamed Cracker Jill by Frito Lay to "empower women." (How the hell popcorn empowers anyone...) The packaging now features a girl in a sort of sailor suit, comes in a bag and has a QR code for a prize. It's sad that we forget our history. The Cracker Jack trademark is modeled after the inventor/founder's grandson, who died of pneumonia at the age of 8. Grandpa was so moved he had the trademarked engraved on his tombstone. Yeah, it's a minor issue/ No one will die from it. I just find it disheartening that much of our history is disappeared under a wave of political correctness. | ||

From what I have read, it's a special promotion to celebrate women in sport, not a replacement for Cracker Jacks.

What if Jill identifies as a man? Or is polyamourous? Cracker them?  _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag! The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher Spread my work ethic, not my wealth | |||

Also, Why isn’t Jill an Admiral? Why a lowly rank? That’s sexist… _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag! The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher Spread my work ethic, not my wealth | |||

I'm sure someone will get triggered because they are calling her a "cracker." | |||

Thanks, Bigwagon. I feel better now. Like gay Oreos, it's temporary and limited edition. | |||

Cracker Jack or Jill is racist.  | |||
|
| Back, and to the left  |
With a racist epithet like cracker still there, I want it removed. They can just call them Jills, or maybe Popper Jills Possibly Crapper Jills, Crack Rats. How about an all black box with no name except some new symbol that means we hate whites. | |||

It wasn't enough to change the name of a classic snack from my childhood, but they "jacked" w/ the classic song too. I'll always love the game of baseball and used to be so excited about each opening day, but with yet more woke changes and torturing of tradition, my decision to stop following MLB and most pro sports is further justified. I miss what used to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...RF8&feature=emb_logo | |||

So are Jack and Jill going to tie the knot, or are they just going up the hill for a little fun? What about when the little crackers come along? A new line of caramel-coated mini-kernels? Another burning question: will the peanuts be replaced by peaovaries? | |||

If they wanted to do something like this for collegiate softball or something, I’d get it… | |||

While a shame, "woking" an always stale snack is somewhat fitting. | |||

Well isn't this confusing. Cracker Jane - all about supporting and celebrating women in sports, sounds fine. And it appears as part of this Frito Lay is donating to the Women's Sports Foundation, again sounds fine. But what does the Women's Sports Foundation support? Well men participating in women's sports of course.

A prize in every box! That has gone downhill as well. I have not seen anyone eating their product for years. | |||
