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. :(

Looks like its a special edition to to promote women's sports, not super obvious by the packaging but also not like a rebranding

    Cracker doesn't refer to the skin color of Jack, but to the crackling of the caramel shell on the popcorn.

    Meanwhile, everyone else understands that Cracker is a racist insult towards white people, along with Honkey.

    God forbid anyone even quotes the N word though..

    Is it racist? It's a reference of slave masters cracking the whip. Not white people having the same color as a saltine cracker.

    Is it racist to call a white man a cracker or a honkey?

    Is it racist to call me a red man? Ya know, Native American?...

    Are you trolling? You seem angry it isn't acceptable in society to say the N word? You want to say it?

    I want to take the time to explain the reason everyone is calling you racist. You are insisting a product change its name BECAUSE of the color of someone's skin. You chose caramel because it is more appropriate for her skin color by your reasoning and doesn't use the products name, which you find offensive.

    The popcorn obviously isn't referring to race in any way, but you made it about that and came up with a pretty racist solution.

    Next time get the gum at cvs and not some popcorn. If you don't like a product, don't give them your money. Easypeasy. No need to get worked up.

    Cracker is to white as N***** is to black.

    Please explain the difference, and why I shouldn't be equally upset...

    One term came from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/removed

    The other was made by white people to describe other white people btw. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(term)

    Get over yourself. Read a book.

    I don’t think this is anyone’s attempt at being “inclusive”.

    “Amusing comeuppance” is the phrase that first jumps to mind. “Postmodern art“ is another. I would also love to have a package of this.

    Read the top right corner, do some research..

    "Women in Sports!"

    They literally were doing the inclusive thing, I took this photo June 15, 2023.

    Did they really have to call her a cracker, when caramel would have been much more respectful and fitting?

    Doubling down on calling everyone else an idiot only buries your message

    No one will listen to you when you call them an idiot

    BECAUSE YOU COME OFF AS A RACIST, ELITIST PIECE OF SHIT

    (Because you are)

    And of course the Jill is black, otherwise it'd be problematic for calling a white girl "cracker".

    That's the point, yes.

    Their marketing department might have done better by calling their new dark skinned young lady "Caramel Jill"...

    No, you don't get it. I was forced by a Flock camera to go into and make a purchase in a CVS, otherwise they were gonna tow our vehicle away.

    So I had no choice but to go in and purchase something, to keep the vehicle from getting towed.

    It wasn't my vehicle by the way, I was 'vehicle sitting' so to speak.

    I never called anyone any sort of slur, but seriously, FUCK FLOCK CAMERAS!!
