Hot damn, did I love getting these from my Dad when I was a little kid.  I haven’t seen a box of Cracker Jacks since then — though the Internet informs me that they are still sold in abundance.  (It seems to me that a box of the classic treats would pale in comparison to those giant tins of caramel corn that you can buy at Walmart or Costco around Christmastime.)

Anyway, I was joking on Facebook yesterday that I needed to run out and buy a box, because  I heard that the prize inside was the Medal of Freedom.
