Is an evil gnome stealing the good prizes out of the crackerjack boxes and replacing them with scraps of paper?
It was so exciting to get bring home that box of crackerjacks and hope that this time you'd get the ring or the car and now ......
It's a travesty I tell you! A crime against man .... and me. I like the hidden surprise.
And is it my imagination or, do they not even taste as good anymore?
A protest is called for here. Naked if neccessary. (sometimes all they understand is the march of a thousand bare asses parading before them, demanding a big surprise)
Join me people. Rage against the machine that is modern time. Rage against throw away prizes.
Lest you forget (or weren't born yet), these are the kind of prizes that used to come in crackerjacks. That's real metal or something like that. And we had rings and hand stamps, necklaces. A prize was a prize, damn it!
Crackerjack, shame on you! SHAME SHAME SHAME!
You know it is not just crackerjack. It is happening everywhere.
I have been going to Louisville, KY for almost 20 years celebrating the Kentucky Derby. OK, it is an excuse to get a peek at spring, visit with friends and enjoy some time off but...
The Derby Festival grew up around this event much like the festival that happens around the Indianapolis 500 race. One of the things they do is produce pins that you must purchase in order to get into all the "free" events.
Now these pins are interesting. For years it was $1 for one pin with one cupon for a prize. Some of them were kind of nice. A lot of them were just lottery tickets or pops but then there were some decent stuff to.
Then the pins went to $2 but don't worry cause now you got two prizes. One almost always a pop and the other not worth a whole lot either.
Anyway I guess all I am saying is they did the very same thing with the Derby pins as the crackerjack prizes.
Hell yea, I am in on that protest!
Milky, I am a very deep person. Very. You sell me short. And I can prove it! I'm already thinking about asking DQ if they have chocolate sprinkles or just the rainbow ones. so...plebbbbt!
Barman, I KNOW. Even cereal prizes are crap. Remember when we used to get submarines and stuff?
Everybody! In the name of all that's good in the world, I say, DROP TROU!
LOL! Suze, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot that you and Gareth and the other folks from other countries might not have crackerjacks.
Crackerjacks is carmel popcorn snack with peanuts that has been around since I was just a wee tyke. They put a prize in every box. When I was little the prizes were pretty cool. But over the years they've gotten to be less and less exciting until now they're basically putting scraps of paper with pictures on it in the box.
Anybody else notice that sometimes it'll say a person updated their blog, you go there and it's the same story ...... unless .... you hit refresh?
We never had to do that before. What's up with that?
Ok, nuf of this. Sal, Suze, and I are standin here butt nakie. C'mon people. Drop the pants and let's march!
Sign, we ALWAYS respect you when you're nekie. Right guys? Guys? Hey, where'd everybody go?
(crabby stands there in the middle of corporate town, naked as the day she was born as dozens of suited on-lookers walk by giving her a wide berth. Round and round she turns wondering what has become of her nakie blogger pals.)
Buddah girl, I LOVE treasure chests. Really!
Sign, Crabber jacks. AHHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! That's the best name ever. I'd eat em.
Reg, "bad moon risin'" LMAO You guys are on a roll. I'm crackin up and I haven't even had coffee yet.

` Crackerjack back!! Oh, that is fun to say!
` Hey, we can just have another one called 'Crabber Jacks' that has awesome prizes!
` And I must say that Crunch n' Munch is better. Of course, I only bought one box... and it was completely congealed into a solid mass, which I painted a picture of for an art project and the teacher liked it so much that she photographed it to use in a demonstrative slide show!
` ...So, it was at least good something.
` Crabby, didn't you have another post here originally, or did I hallucinate the whole thing?
` Speaking of new posts, yeah, sometimes I go to other people's blogs (or, hell, even my blog for that matter!) and I won't see an update when there is one! So, sometimes I go to someone's blog and don't think they've updated... and I'm wrong! ARRRGH!
