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

well if you can get the most out of the least amount of water effort it's actually not called lazy that's called efficiency.

Disagree war eludes to violence or Force. People who talk about the culture war want to force people to think a certain way or do violence to them if they don't accept it that's the whole point of it.

There is no war it was just petulant little brats that can't accept that people disagree with them it's more like the culture temper tantrum.

 

I don’t really care about this topic, so okay.

 

I'm just curious why people want to have a culture war. Live and let live solves all of that.

 

You know the country is doomed when this thread is even a thing.

So many childhood snacks gone and cracker jacks made the cut?

That was a good snack!

 

The only "laughable hyperbole" here is the one you are peddling. Contrary to your fake news article, Cracker Jack isn't "rebranding." All they are doing is providing some limited edition packaging that you're never actually going to see. But the snowflake right knew they could doop the weakest minded among their followers to blindly believe that they were victims of a non-existent issue, and it worked like a charm.

 

There answer as to why is pretty simple. Republicans’ political prescriptions are to tax the poor and give the rich tax breaks. If not for the culture war they’d get about 1% of the vote and quickly fall into obscurity.

 

That's your excuse? People disagree with you so there needs to be war?

That means your position is irrational and untenable.

 

If you’re going to make a, pretty wild, assessment of my post, could you at least quote it in full? When did I say anything along the lines of what you just said?

Can you define what you think culture war means? I’d like to be sure we’re talking about the same thing.

 

No. If you post twaddle I'll treat it as twaddle.

The point is you are wanting to wage war because you can't stand people disagreeing with you.

It's not a culture war it's just you having a temper tantrum.

I also deleted meaningless twaddle from this response. If you want me to quote your post in full please refrain from typing meaningless twaddle.

 

You’re arguing in bad faith. Catch you in the next one.

 

I'm focusing on points rather than petty personal nonsense.

If that's bad faith don't catch me ever again because I'll always do exactly that.

 

At least you’re aware of your limitations.

 

When the topic isn't about your personal views your personal views aren't the topic I'm sorry if that's an issue for you maybe you should find something else to do with your free time.

 

No this is the only hyperbole but then you just aded to too it.

If you don't want to discuss the issue then don't, don't come here and use the invective against those who do, it is just another reflection of our society.

 

So am I, why are Cracker Jacks a target of it?

 

They aren't. You guys are making **** up after nothing. 100% hyperbole, no substance.

 

How dare they use the term "cracker"?!?

 

There is no "issue" to discuss. It's a fake concern. Your hyperbolic concern over nothing is a reflection of nothing more than your own reactionary, fringe right "society."

 

It's a marketing gimmick. I haven't thought about crackerjack in over a decade. Here we are talking about it. Now I didn't ever care for it but some people did and the more they think about it the more they want it.

That's the only real goal in this. It's only using woke to generate buzz

 

They are teaming up with the rice company and will soon be launching their new brand "Uncle Cracker"

 

That's a fun pun, but there are actually people who have fallen for this **** and think that Cracker Jack is somehow changing and they are playing victim over it. Some people will stop at nothing for a fake victim narrative. The fringe right snowflake narrative knows no bounds.

 

I did not see a meltdown; only a discussion. Ironic that the product still has nuts. (Like some of the athletes competing in woman's sports.)

 

It's a meltdown. Sorry. All that is happening is that there some novelty bags with girls on them instead of a little boy on a junk food item and the fringe right is having a hissy fit about fake "replacement."

 

Steve did not have a meltdown or a hissy fit. He simply brought up a topic about feminizing a brand. Your post was a bit elevated though!

 

They absolutley are trying to tap gullible lemnings in the culture war to teinforce their bottom line, and you gobble it all up.

From Time:

Frito-Lay is taking a crack at improving America’s favorite pastime.

The parent company of Cracker Jack (one of baseball’s most iconic snacks in the game) announced on Tuesday that it's added a rookie to its lineup. “Cracker Jill” is the brand’s newest mascot in 125 years and will take to baseball fields alongside the iconic Sailor Jack image at the start of the baseball season.

To mark the occasion, the crunchy and caramel-coated peanut and popcorn snack tapped two Black female artists.

“Motivation” singer Normani paired up with Frito-Lay to update the unofficial anthem of North American baseball (“Take Me Out to the Ball Game”) while artist Monica Ahanonu conceptualized the five new faces of the Cracker Jack team.

During an interview on TODAY, Normani emphasized that partnership has meant a lot to her as a Black woman.

“This partnership for me stands for everything that I believe in. I’m such a girls’ girl. I’m all about women empowerment,” she explained during the interview. “And for me being a little girl, I feel like this would have been really important for me. To have witnessed being a little Black girl. And I love sports. I love entertainment. And so just that representation of the fact that I can be a part of it means a lot to me.”

Normani did more than just perform a name swap for her rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game" which is traditionally played during baseball's seventh-inning stretch.

The updated song lyrics celebrate the endurance and achievements of girls in sports.

“Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jill/ No one can stop you if you have the will/ So let’s root, root, root for a girl’s dream,” read some of the lines. The tail of the lyrics also received a new spin with lines like “We’re adding our face to the game/ And we’ll run, throw, with never a doubt/It’s a new, ball game.”

In addition to getting a new jingle, Cracker Jill also received the visual artwork treatment. Monica Ahanonu, described by Frito-Lay as “an expert in color theory and a trailblazer for Black artists,” created five different illustrations of Cracker Jill to show girls their skin tone, body types, and ethnicities are represented in sports.

The new mascot is already being cheered on by fans who appreciate the celebration of women in sports. Sports business reporter Darren Rovell called the role out "awesome" in a post shared on Twitter.



Frito Lay just checking boxes in the culture war.

Maybe if the left tries hard enough, they can just eradicate the world of white men?
