Seriously? The product is caramel coated popcorn, you’d think they might give it a more appropriate name, such as…

Caramel Jills

Edit: For people that aren’t aware, this is their rebranding of Cracker Jacks, to try to be inclusive or some shit. I think they did a terrible rebranding of this, for reasons already stated. :(

    Sad to see a poster turn out to be an racist weirdo.

    My guy you’re obsessed with race. You see a black kid and think “she shouldn’t be here, or they should make it about race”

    To pre-empt the inevitable THEN I CAN SAY NI-" cracker here is not being use to refer to race. It never was. If it was, that’s racist, it was not. You’re just racist.

    If a Spanish package used the word negro for a black coffee flavoured items that’s not racist. Its not about race. Its about the the taste. You wouldn’t care about that bud. But a black person on a package? FUCK STOP EVERERYTHING I GET TO SAY THE N WORD NOW! IT’S MY ONLY JOY

    They aren’t trying to be inclusive they’re trying to sell sugar to children. They likely have a lower rate of girls buying it. People who like it won’t stop buying unless they’re a freak like you. New people will. That’s all. It’s money. Also, there’s you, and your free publicity. Anti-woke weirdos make good advertisments. You freak out about the green mnm no-longer wearing heals and the mars company sees a revenue spike

    See you later culture warriir

      Popcorn is not a cracker in the first place, but the snack is indeed covered in caramel.

      Is it that hard to connect the dots? Hell, Caramel Jills even sounds nicer and prettier, at least to me.

        Cracker reffers to the “cracking” sound that the popcorn makes. Not the race of the character on the bag. This is jack, hear how his treats crack. These are cracker jacks, they crack, jack.

        That’s a you invention. The racial bit

        Maybe it’s a misunderstanding? It’s a homograph. Something spelt the same, with a different meaning. Cracker jack never meant “jack is, racially, white”. That would be racist.

        Changing it to caramel specifically because they’re black is racist. It does sound better, I’ll admit that though. If they made the change to caramel jills for non racial reasons I’d support it
