Soooo.... Frito Lay Inc., the makers of Cracker Jack, has now jumped on the "bad attitude" bandwagon by creating a new version of the venerable old staple snack from everyone's childhood, called "Cracker Jack'd".
Is that what our society is currently lacking... kids jacked up on even more caffiene because they aren't getting enough from all the soda pop & energy drinks they currently guzzle non-stop? As if public school employees don't have a hard enough time getting & keeping kids sitting stiull & focused, noe there's just one more sugary speed fix for them. I find this truly disturbing. |

I wonder what the "prize" would be in these? A pack of smokes and a lighter?

It said it's marketed to adults, on the Today video we will see.

I read about this yesterday and was like "Really?!"
As if the massive amounts of sugar in it doesn't already hype people up. Let's add some caffeine to it! Instead of peanuts, there are probably little coffee bean bits. I'll pass. |

I've never really cared at all for Cracker Jacks. I love popcorn, but it doesn't mix well with anything sweet for me. Either plain or with butter only.
But with that said this whole "Jack'd" crap needs to go, seriously. |

That settles it. I now wish the makers of Cracker Jack'D all the success in the world. Fake outrage always does that to me.

I just haven't had the stomach to comment on this...in a way (my perspective) it is not really 'NEWS'.
Had a little 'insider info' on this, but thought they were joking - it all seems so silly and there is nothing positive about this 'new product'.
Why not re-open the door to pure caffine pills (other than it is a VERY bad idea)?

"Snacks with impact" is what it says on the box. Coated in anthrax? Bath salts? Gun powder? Maybe the candy-coated popcorn actually does pop?

This thread reminded me of the Onion article "Frito-Lay Angrily Introduces Line of Healthy Snacks".
Wasn't it you who posted that about a million years ago?

If you want highly caffeinated, sweet snacks you'd be better off eating chocolate-covered coffee beans. They'd taste a lot better, too.

I actually found a few occasions to repost that link here over the years, brita. I always credited you for it, though, as I recall.
So damned funny.
It really does deserve a teaser, though:
With the recent trend of wholesome snack foods reaching "truly ridiculous proportions," Frito-Lay announced Monday that it would, against its better judgment, roll out a new line of healthy fruit-and-vegetable-based chips next February.
"Here," said Frito-Lay CEO Al Carey as he disgustedly tossed a bag of the company's new Flat Earth-brand snack crisps onto the lectern during a meeting with shareholders and members of the press. "Here's some sh*t that's made from beets. I hope you're all happy now that you have your precious beet chips with the recommended daily serving of fruit, or vegetables, or whatever the hell a 'beet' is."
"Mmm, dehydrated bulb things," Carey added. "Sounds delicious." Carey appeared visibly appalled as Frito-Lay employees distributed Flat Earth snack samples to the audience.

"You all disgust me," said Carey, who then kicked over the Flat Earth display and stormed out of the room.

When I read Jack'd, I think of an incredibly strong pre-workout I used to take. Total tunnel vision on a full dose.
I barely could handle it then, I defifinetly would not want to experience that while eating a sugary treat. |
