It’s Supposed to be Cheap BUT Fabulous

by Doug MacRostie

While the saying, “I got it out of a Cracker Jacks box,” has always referenced something cheap and generally useless, it also suggested something fun and unique. Like a pinball game or Halloween mask, or even little metal instrument replicas. It’s not like Cracker Jacks themselves are something special; glorified, overpriced popcorn.

Due to some reason I haven’t bothered to research, (but will venture to guess is cost related), the prizes have declined to simple printed jokes or quotes. Excuse me Frito Lay, but we already have those and they’re called fortune cookies, get your own idea! Oh wait, you already had yours…

If my message isn’t clear, maybe this will help:
The boycott begins…  …  …NOW!
