Wokeness Wins the Ball Game: Cracker Jack Gets Upgraded to 'Cracker Jill'

Lol, it is not a reflection of our culture, so much as it is a reflection of our inability to rid ourselves of the silly bigotry that would elevate this to something that would seem worthy of discussion. With all the real issues in this world, we are going to get upset about a crackerjack box? Really?

 

This silly rebranding is a reflection of the rotting of our culture; it is a part of a mainstream trend of baseless virtue signaling and pathetic pandering. It is a microcosm of the larger picture of wokeness lending its anti-Midas touch to various institutions, from our schools and business to confectioners and traditional pastimes. Replying that it is triviality and that we should focus on other things is a tiring leitmotif of leftism: you celebrate, for example, the rebranding of Cracker Jack to Cracker Jill, and then you tell the rest of us that we must care, too. And when we react, saying that we do, in fact, care, but that we react opposite to you, you then say, "Why do you care so much?"

 

Lol, really? You are falling for this bull ****? I didn't realize that junk food mascots were "icons of our social culture." But, even if I had such a low estimation of our culture, as you apparently do, that I thought they were, it's still bull **** for two reasons.

1) I went to Walmart today. Do you know what I saw? Cracker Jack. I went to Target today. Do you know what I saw? Cracker Jack. I went to Costco today. Do you know what I saw? Cracker Jack. I went to the convenience store today. Do you know what I saw? Cracker Jack.

2) Even if junk food mascots were icons of our social culture, and even if Cracker Jack were replaced . . . so the **** what? Women make up about half of our society. Anyone who wants to cry about them making up 2% of our junk food mascots instead of 1% has some serious growing up to do, especially if they are going to be such drama queens that they call it "men maiming." Those children need to grow a sack.

 

I'd roll my eyes, but they literally did make a big deal about the green M&M being less ****able, so who knows what they will throw a fit about next.

 

Cracker jacks are an iconic American candy. They have a name brand most businesses can only dream of. How many songs mention this name? They have no bad reputations. So why change such a recognized brand? I think this is a legit point to make on this platform

 

Where's the evidence that the brand has actually been changed? Again, I saw bags of their junk food in four separate stores today. Why was the brand the same?

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill, she gave Jack a crack and a smack, and now cracker Jack became cracker Jill! Now cracker Jill is Queen... I mean, King of the Hill!!

 

Except crackerjill.com still isn't operable. And Cracker Jack is still being sold in stores, not Cracker Jill. Seems like another fake concern.

 

You can almost hear Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben laughing!!!

 

This was just barely announced last week. Obviously supplies have to be diminished if the old brand. I would argue that if you see cracker jacks you should buy them, they may be worth money later.

 

Yeah, they took women off of syrup bottles and butter because it was offensive, now they’re adding women. You could say they’re exploiting women again.

 

Except no such "replacement" has been announced.

 

There likewise has been no announcement of keeping the iconic brand “Cracker Jack”

 

So we can agree that all fake news of a "replacement" is just nonsense meant to drive the reactionary right nuts and that there is no reason to believe it is actually true. It's just a fake news story there to rile up those among the fringe right who are full of rage and incapable of critical thinking. Cool. Cool cool.

 

BTW, the website is now live, confirming that you guys are foaming at the mouth over nothing. What's actually happening is that Cracker Jack is introducing 5 special edition bag designs. You can get one by donating $5, "while supplies last." You all panicked over nothing. Your junk food will still have a boy on the cover. It's okay. You will survive this.

 

Even the announcement of these special edition, limited run bags still refers to the company as Cracker Jack. You guys are panicking over nothing. Give it a rest. This is snowflakism, at best.

 

I'm not saying that this is a certain thing that has happened because evidently it sounds like it may not have.... But I defy you to go find you some Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben's!

 

I defy you to actually address the topic and acknowledge the fact that all reports of a "replacement" are fake news. Cracker Jack is still Cracker Jack. They are creating 5 special edition bad designs with girls on them and sharing the proceeds of those bags with womens' sports. And the snowflake right is having a meltdown over it and crying in the name of their own version of political correctness -- socially conservative political correctness. They will keep crying until they get their own safe space.

 

So you can't find any Uncle Ben's or Aunt Jemima's?

Of course you can't. This example might not be the best one but it is a fact that products are being rebranded because of PC b*******

 

Was this about Uncle Ben or Aunt Jemima's or are you trying to change the subject?

Should I answer that for you?

 

Another case of a right-wing Cracker Jackoff.

 

If you can't see the direct relation of the subject so I can't help you. I can say it for you but I can't think it and understand it for you

 

The problem comes from why anyone would even think of replacing Jack with Jill. What’s next, Jill hammers, Jill in the Box, Jill off?

 

No one was replacing anything. You guys threw an immature, uninformed, irrational fit over nothing. None of this was based on facts. It was all based on your insecurities. If we were dealing with grown ups, it would have never been a topic.
