NCcichlid Platinum Enthusiast	Posted Why are Cracker Jacks toys so insignificant / trivial now? I can remember when finding the toy it might be anything from a whistle, a working top, even a mini American flag. Now you might get a paper tattoo, paper sticker, or a riddle.

Posted Hide Post less chance of choking on a stupid tatoo than one of those cool faceted-lens viewers. a piece of printed paper is so much cheaper than a nifty compass they think people bought them for the peanuts & popcorn. Quite frankly, I won't even buy CJ's anymore. I'll just buy Fiddle Faddle or those Screamin' yellow Zonkers. CJ's used to be fun. Now they're just a line in a song. Mr(buy me some peanuts and Fiddle Faddle. I don't care if they're beat by Seattle)Sensitive

clarebear Diamond Enthusiast Enthusiast of the Year	Posted Hide Post There are no cool toys in Cracker Jacks because its cheaper. The original Cracker Jacks had toy trains in them. They are just trying to save money. Its the same reason so many cereal boxes stopped the toys in the box. Now you have to buy 3 boxes, send it the upcs with original receipt and $4.99 shipping and handling. All you get is a Froot Loop Frisbee. Big Deal.

kittypal Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post I never liked the taste of Cracker Jacks that much, but the prizes used to be good. My favorites were those acrobatic guys on the plastic stick things that you twirled and they did tricks, haven't seen one of those since I was little. I too love screamin yellow zonkers!!!!!

Cris5 Silver Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post I've noticed that too about Cracker Jack, NCichlid. All you ever get anymore are totally stupid stickers. Tastes just the same, though!
