Cracker Jack vs Poppycock vs Store brand
So what's the deal with Cracker Jack. It seems to me it's over-rated. I remember when I was a kid I would buy it excitedly mostly for the surprise toy. Back then it was really something exciting to see what new mini toy was inside. Now I purchase this type of sweet for the actual taste of it when I get a sweet tooth and not the "surprise" I stopped buying Cracker Jack a while back as the surprise now is crap. I recently received a Cracker Jack as part of a Christmas goodie bag. The surprise toy is a crappy piece of paper with instructions to fold the paper this way and that way. What the hell kinda "surprise toy" is that. If only the popcorn mix with nuts was good, but it isn't. The peanuts in it are diminutive and shriveled, it's a waste to even include them in it. So now of course I buy Poppycock which is excellent tasting and have many varieties, and of course I like saying the name. Even the store brand versions are pretty good, and have a good popcorn to nut ratio. But Cracker Jack unless I receive you as a gift or part of a goody bag as before, I will not waste my time on you, unless you improve the peanuts to caramel popcorn ratio and include a worthwhile "surprise"
