Do you enjoy being taken out to the ballgame? What do you eat with your pack of peanuts?
Thanks to gender equality, the answer should no longer be “Cracker Jack.”
In a men-maiming move, Frito-Lay has repackaged its iconic candy.
Since manly mentions are Jacked up, feminists everywhere can now tear into a box of “Cracker Jill.”
OfficialFritoLay’s YouTube channel boasts an ad in praise of the improvement.
The company subscribes to a contemporarily common concept — people are unable to live aptly unless they see others who look like themselves:
Sometimes all it takes to believe you can do something is to see someone who looks like you do it first.

shouldn't "cracker" be deemed offensive and banned as the other "c" word?
and shouldn't it be JilX? or perhaps JilQ fir those unsure?

Just like the trans swimmer, Cracker Jill still has nuts.

Is this going to sweep all through cereals with mens names ? Will Tony the tige become a Tigress? What about Snap, Crackle and Pop, what are they really ? Captain Crunch, what will become of him? Will Apple and Cinnamon Jacks also become " Jills " ? Then there's Fred and Barney of Fruity Pebbles, will they be replaced by Wilma and Betty?

Why can't you have both? Marketing has become so divisive and uncreative. Quite boring.

Cracker Jack hasn't been a tempting snack for decades. Dried out caramel corn, cheap paper prizes, and way more costly than its worth. Perhaps it can just go away.

This still identifies gender as male and female this accomplished nothing, Cracker X would have been a better choice not Jill.

We have Latinx to include all high Spanish. Why not do the same for Jack and Jill? How about Jix?

Whatever. Just don't misspell or mispronounce "peanuts" when you sing the song in the bottom of the seventh inning.

I initially thought this was a misconstrued April Fool gag. If it was, Frito-Lay is still trying to milk it, posting its version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with Cracker Jill. Whatever, it's their product, their ridiculousness on display. Don't get a decent prize in that package anyway.

Not the whole ballgame, just this inning. A heartfelt sayonara to whoever it was that took over Cracker Jack. Follow the arrows, Hell is thataway.

If it's a case of not buying a product unless I see myself represented on the package, not only will I have to stop buying cracker whatever, but also just about everything advertised on TV. I identify as a conservative, old white male, not a woke, black person. The way ads portray white men, is usually as sickly and slightly stupid, so I don't see myself there, either. I've managed to boycott most of the products and services disparaging people like me and so far, my life hasn't gotten any worse. Thankfully, toilet tissue is still white!

Agreed, poster 10. Cracker Jack is the nastiest "popcorn" on the planet.

They should have changed their total packaging to a 50/50 split, half Jack and half Jill. That way they would have eliminated most of the controversy that was sure to come and endanger a lot of their future sales. Because as of now there are a lot of alternatives for fans to buy at ballgames then the old fashioned candied popcorn with a few nuts thrown in.

Sounds like a bunch of Fiddle-Faddle and Poppycock to me.
(Both of which are vastly more yummy than Cracker Jacks, although the last four letters of the latter may be problematic to the 'woke'.

I haven't noticed a name change from Aunt Jemima's syrup to Uncle Jim's syrup or Mrs. Baird's to Mr. Baird's. I guess it only works one way.

I went to fritolay.com, and saw that as part of their "Cracker Jill" campaign, they also donated $200K to the Women's Sports Federation (800-227-3988)... so I gave them a call. A nice young lady answered the phone and I explained how important it is that we support sports for girls and women, and asked where they stood on this whole transgender issue. She began to explain how 'inclusive' they are, and I realized that we were already going off the rails. I asked if they actually supported biological males being allowed to compete in women's and girl's sports, and she explained that they supported all types of women and girls, including transgenders!?!?
So, the Women's Sports Federation is actually helping to destroy female sports in the name of female sports.
I tried to reason with her, but as they say, you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Perhaps we should also let Frito Lay (Pepsi Co) know that their Cracker Jill campaign is going to aid in forcing Jill out of sports. Frito Lay's phone number is 800-352-4477.

In the interest of not ticking off Ms. Lucianne and the site monitors, I will refrain from pondering whether "Cracker Jill" still contains nuts!!
