Cracker Jill ?

[caryc]

OMG...somebody please tell me I'm dreaming and wake me up. There's a Cracker Jack so of course there now has to be a Cracker Jill. Why can't they just shut up and make crackers?

IS IT EVER GOING TO STOP?

 

[Mobuck]

Everyone(well almost everyone) is looking for something to be 'offended' by so this is one of the many turns of the worm.

 

[Fox Mike]

I can't wait for the song at the 'seventh inning stretch'. I can hear it now:" ....buy some peanuts and Cracker Jills...". And to add insult to injury it is in a bag rather than a box.

Well she does have big hair and I bet is from Georgia....... somebody should complain.

 

[bobski]

shes out of uniform.

 

[Jimbo357mag]

It's a clever marketing ploy to get coverage in the media and keep advertising costs low. ...and if they do support 'women in sports' like they say, good for them.
How could anyone be offended???? wait they didn't ask caryc.

I’m outraged. I‘m starting a boycott.

I pledge to NEVER buy any Cracker Jill!

In related news… Cracker Jack doesn’t actually make crackers…

Anyone see the irony of them repackaging the male named Cracker Jack candy as female and using it to gin up support for women's sports?

 

[caryc]

I almost hate to find out what the surprise inside is.

Again, what about this is offensive to you or should be to us?

 

[freakindawgen]

But even this is bias, everyone knows Crackers are white.

Yeap that's what my two black friends have called me for years, Cracker. I'm offended, my history is being stolen.

 

[Chance]

Definitely a major step forward for equal rights. What next Mom Tarts to offset Pop Tarts?

 

[protoolman]

Yep, the Cracker LGBTQ+ can't be far behind!

 

[44Squatch]

And to top it off, “Cracker Jack” is not a gendered word, nor is it named after some dude named Jack. Yea, they had a sailer looking guy on the box, but the name of this snack was not masculine. It means the best, or master of, or skillful … I’m tired of this crap. And this nonsense is indoctrinating the younger generation to accept this as proper, when its not.

So, that pop corn treat is masterful or skillful? Which came first, the phrase cracker jack or the treat cracker jack?

OK, with a little digging, I found this.

What is a Cracker Jack?
In 1896 the name Cracker Jack was officially registered (before then the snack had been called candied popcorn and peanuts) and the familiarly sticky and sweet candy we know today was born.

Back in the day, the term "cracker jack" could refer to anything of high quality, so it's no wonder the name stuck! The coining of the name, however, was just the first of many big steps for this candy favorite.

 

[redhawker]

I don't know about that. She looks kind of Hispanic so is she really a "cracker"?

 

[caryc]

OK, guys, I just noticed that the package had the thing about womens sports on it so at least it has another reason for coming into existence. So maybe it actually doesn't bother me so much now.

At least it doesn't have a picture of an ugly man swimmer on it.

If it is to celebrate women in sports I can imagine the makers of jock straps to come up with something for those men that identify as women.

Is the popcorn black?

 

[blackhawknj]

How can we celebrate women in sports when we can't even define "woman."

 

[mr.deerstalker]

this helps...I promise...lol
