I tried some at the circus (terrified of loud noises for my entire life) and couldn't eat it. It was sweet popcorn and sticky. I didn't eat candy as a kid, and I never had pop. I even didn't like 7-Up and no one could believe that either.
Do you like Cracker Jack? Do you think it's good or it's a childhood food and you eat it now because you at it then?

Yes but I love all sweet popcorn. I used to buy it for the prizes but they're really crappy now.

I didn't really like it as a child and I sure don't like it know. But I'm not a big popcorn eater anyway.

Yes I still like the original Cracker Jacks but so disappointed in the miserable prizes in the boxes.

I don't ever buy it, but if you put an open box in front of me, I'll eat it.

I personally would rather more nuts in it but also wish the nuts weren't all sunk down to the bottom of the box. Once in a blue moon I buy a bag of it (the boxes seem way too small for me now).
Nothing beat the caramel corn that use to be at the local mall years and years ago. Sigh. The smell alone would make you buy it never mind the great taste.

Yes, I love Cracker Jacks, but they don't put in enough peanuts. For gourmet popcorn treats, I love Harry & David's Moose Munch.

Yes I still like the original Cracker Jacks but so disappointed in the miserable prizes in the boxes. Yeah, what's up with that? I get it that they don't want to put some little plastic thing small enough to choke on in there, but these days they give you stupid little stickers with the Cracker Jack logo on it. Really? At least they could put some cute stickers in there that someone might actually want to put on something.

I like caramel corn but Cracker Jacks tastes like it has molasses in it and I don't like it.

My grandpa (I called him Gandy) always had Cracker Jack for all the grandkids who would visit his house. I hated the peanuts but loved the popcorn. Now, I don't really eat it but when I think of Cracker Jack it reminds me of my Gandy so I love the nostalgia of it. (He also kept Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, Pringles, and Three Musketeers for us. He was the best Gandy ever! )

Cracker Jack popcorn in the little box with the toy? Not really.
Really well made caramel corn? Ooooh yes! There is this popcorn place in Chicago (can't remember the name but it's super popular and well known), and they have THE BEST kinds of popcorn!!! Esp the caramel corn!!!!

This has just reminded me that Crackerjack used to be sold for a while in my part of England but it's a very, very long time since I saw any - and come to think of it, I'm not sure why it was available here then! My oldest used to love buying the boxes when she was small!

I liked Cracker Jacks when I was young (not the peanuts, though), but now I much more prefer my own homemade caramel corn recipe. To me, Cracker Jacks was about the whole thing- the box, the prize, etc- not just the caramel corn.

It was okay, but I prefer Fiddle Faddle. It has a buttery, sweet taste to it.

I like caramel corn, but not Cracker Jack-- Cracker Jack tastes almost 'burned' to me, and I do NOT like the peanuts in it. I prefer a sweeter-tasting caramel corn. (when I was little, I remember my Mom making it in the oven... yum!)

I, too, would pick out the peanuts. They used to have much better surprises!

Yes I still like the original Cracker Jacks but so disappointed in the miserable prizes in the boxes. They should put better (3-D not paper stickers) in and raise the price a bit. I'd bet sales would increase. They used to have them in 3-packs tied together with red tape. My Dad would bring them home sometimes and it was always fun to pick center, left, or right box in hope of getting the best prize. I had one brother and one sister so the 3 pack was perfect. Now who cares, all the prizes suck.

(when I was little, I remember my Mom making it in the oven... yum!) This! I also think Cracker Jack tastes burnt, and I dislike the peanuts. I did like the tattoos that came in the box. They were the only prize worth getting, I thought.
