Isn’t it just Cracker Jack without the nuts?

I guess Cracker Karen didn't test well.

Oh wow, didn't think it was possible for them to sell any less of that stuff.

I love and really care about representation of women, but honestly first impression I had this was off brand. I don’t completely hate the idea though

You know what racial slurs are still 100% acceptable for any race to say? What words you can use to describe a particular color of skin that nobody, not even people of that skin color, care about?

All of the white ones. Cracker, honky, whitey, redneck, hillbilly. There's absolutely zero stigma surrounding these terms, even today. So while Washington's football team has to change its name, and brands like Land O' Lakes and Aunt Jemima are removing racially charged images from their packaging, good ol' Cracker Jacks is still standing tall. In fact, they're including women in their racial slur popcorn now, too.

This comment is 100% for humor, so please DO NOT take it seriously. I'm all good with those terms sticking around. It's just what pops into my mind every time I see the word "cracker". Removing the word cracker from anything is a ridiculous idea which should not be entertained.

This honestly isn't a great concept. It looks like s bootleg version and is just a cheap attempt at appealing to women as well. It's just food, jeez.

I'm not your son, boy, but thank you for an example of how a word that isn't inherently disrespectful or hateful can become so if used in a certain way.

None of those terms have power because we never gave them power, and if you're offended every time you see the word cracker I'd bet good money that there's a white hood at your house, or there was one at your father's.

They have no power because we gave them no power. Like the other response to my comment, I'll push your lips into your throat for calling me "son" before I will for using any of these terms.
