Talk:Cracker Jack

message: I removed the complaints and good comments sections, since they are necessarily subjective and aren't encyclopedic. Dr. Sunglasses 22:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Complaints/good comments sections 

message: Boy, the "complaints" section is really awkward and... dumb. We should probably get rid of it.
Took it out.  It was awful and pointless.Malkmut 07:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is Cracker Jack referred to in the plural in the Popular Culture section?  The brand is Cracker Jack, not Cracker Jacks.  The plural does not even make sense.  What are three Cracker Jacks?  Three pieces of caramel-coated pieces of popcorn?  Two caramel-coated pieces of popcorn and a peanut?  One piece of caramel-coated popcorn and two peanuts?  Three peanuts?
Hey guy who created this Plural section: get over it.
My vote, like attorneys general and courts martial, is for Crackers Jack. Mrinsuperable (talk) 08:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Some of that quantitative analysis of Cracker Jack's decline over the years from the linked article could be added herein.  I just finished a box and, as usual, found only four peanuts where there used to be maybe a dozen.  And calling that scrap of paper a "prize" is like calling Bazooka Joe a "graphic novel".  I don't think it stretches NPOV to note that the one thing that has remained constant about this product over the past 40 years is that hardly anyone can resist pointing out that "it used to be a lot better when I was a kid".  And they're right.  Asat 00:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Prizes change date 

message: Truly pointless, worthless article. Complete waste of bandwidth, and it steals traffic from better, more informed sites due to wikiality's skewed and gamed google ranking.
This "article" is 95% trivia, and is promotional material for commercial products of various descriptions. There is almost no genuine fact or background on the product in question, and no valid source to prove the little that is there. Much of the "facts" here have been stolen from the Cracker Jack site, in clear violation of copyright.
Improve it considerably, or delete it. It's typical wikiality.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.226.164 (talk) 17:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Copyright violation vs. free advertising? If you've got an issue with the article, fix it. Deleting it is unacceptable, as Cracker Jack is a very well-known product. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 01:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Removed large amount of unencyclopedic trivia as a list of tv shows or movies where an item was obtained from a box of Cracker Jack is not what we need.  Googlemeister (talk) 15:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This needs a citation to both verify the statement and to give it some context so it makes sense. 
::The Cracker Jack mystery prizes are often more popular than the product itself, and have become a metaphor in American pop culture describing the appreciation of a thing, concept, or person as exceptional compared to attached, associated objects, ideas, or personalities.

replies: text:  I still don't understand how an ad for a movie is a prize. Or instructions on how to download an app is a prize. Call me old fashioned, but I loved those crappy lick on tattoos. 70.127.248.232 (talk) 15:00, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
