No thanks!<BR/><BR/>myron - sounds like something my brother would have done<BR/><BR/>kelly - yup, the tats were THE coveted prize. And remember how you would smear them, half the time? Ah, the golden days when the cheapest treats were the most satisfying!<BR/><BR/>barbara - I liked the fold-up in back of Mad, too. Sitting down-era hand-shaking for ladies probably dates from the Emily Post period, where a seated man would stand when approached for a handshake by another man.<BR/><BR/>zelda - Yeah, I agree - it WAS better. I don't get how they don't notice they send out burned product these days.<BR/><BR/>dave - brilliant point, and I think you are right. Oh, and that pink popcorn???--I just kinda puked in my mouth when I read that. <BR/><BR/>mushy - you want junk? I got a lot of junk right here. Just you wait.<BR/><BR/>fathairybastard - Wow, you threw away the best part! If you want my advice, leave your memory of Cracker Jack in the past - trying it again you'll only wonder how you ever choked it down in the first place.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1160021223148864662006-10-04T23:07:00.000-05:002006-10-04T23:07:00.000-05:00I used to love the candied popcorn, but always thr...I used to love the candied popcorn, but always threw away the peanuts.

Oh, and do they even put in peanuts any more? Cheap bastards. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Put the peanuts and prizes back in and see what happens. Oh, and stop burning the caramel!phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1159940564676998902006-10-04T00:42:00.000-05:002006-10-04T00:42:00.000-05:00As a major league fan of MLB I was excited to try ...As a major league fan of MLB I was excited to try Cracker Jack. We don't have it in England, so a couple of years ago I went to a mets game and obviously ordered Cracker Jack.<BR/>What a disappointment!
