I do remember that! Now whenever I open a box of Cracker Jack I'm terribly disappoint in the "prize". That used to be most of the attraction for me of that particular confection, now it's just a sticker or a joke or something! They wrecked it! :)

Oh yes, I remember them well. My mom worked for Bama Food's and for a while, they made Cracker Jack Peanut Butter with a toy surprise between the lid and jar seal. She would bring all kinds of neat toys home. Before that even, I always loved getting a box of Cracker Jacks and finding the toy surprise inside.
Alas though, those days are long gone. Our paranoia has taken control, we're all too fearful of possible choking on small things.

Sure do. A few weeks ago, as I was feeling child-like,
vulnerable and sorry for myself after my knee surgery, I asked my daughter to get me a box of Cracker Jacks at the market.
I opened them up and there were 3 peanuts and a tiny little tattoo. ( boo-hoo, sniff, sniff)

I swallowed a huge ring with red glass in it and was afraid to tell--I was sure for a bit that I was going to die from it, and it was big enough that it hurt all the way down. The next thing I remember is my son sticking a p-nut all the way up his nose that I finally managed to get out with a hair pin and sitting on him.

I used to love cracker jacks...........it was exciting because the suprise in the box was a treat......now days the prizes are very cheap and not very good at all........even the tattoos today are not as good as they used to be.........

Yes, I do. There used to be some pretty nice ones. Now, all they give you is a piece of paper junk (like a sticker)...oh boy, I got a sticker!
Yea, too bad you didn't keep that stuff.
