Wow, my office vending machine now has Cracker Jack. I am going to go broke 50 cents at a time. Caramel goodness popcorn and peanuts...and a PRIZE to boot? Sign me up.

This prize sucked though, it was a fold-a-face that became Ben Franklin. Pretty boring, but I know something good is lurking there in that row of the vending machine....

What was the best Cracker Jack prize you ever got?

cracker jack prizes completely suck now.

I used to like the little pin-ball type plastic games.

Cracker Jack itself, however, is a tiny piece of heaven here on earth.

I never ate Cracker Jacks as a kid or even now for that matter.. Not a fan of popcorn after having to wear braces...

But does Crunch and Munch have a prize?

No prize, just caramel and peanut goodness.

Does Cracker Jack have a Heath topping flavor?

If Crunch and Munch was any good they wouldn't have to F with their recipe. Cracker Jack has been the same since WW2 and it's still wildly popular with the youth of America.

Who needs a gimmick like that? Cracker Jack has PRIZES, dammit.

Cracker Jack rules, but I'm with Linderbee. The prizes are nowhere near as good as they were when I was a kid. I used to love the tatooes. I thought I was cool and, gosh darn it, I was!

I'm with Linder (big shock); the pinball was the bomb.

I used to hate the peanuts when I was kid and would give them all to my dad. I hope little abomb gives me his peanuts. :)

I was so thinking the same thing! In fact I believe it was those Cracker Jacks tatoos that lead me to get a real one on my back when I was 13 or 14.

Ok, these new prizes suck. Folding faces? Ben Franklin face and Susan B Anthony?

Terrible...bring back tattoos and pinball!

Oh, and reading the ingredients was enlightening. Since they have to disclose allergans like peanuts, they have the line that says:

Contains a peanut ingredient.



You mean, like PEANUTS? Way to beat around the bush there, Cracker Jack.
