Marie wrote yesterday about the waxy bottles filled with liquid also known as Nikl Nips Another thing that has never truly gone out of style Is Crackerjacks. When I was a kid you could get a box for a dime, later going up to a quarter. Thez came with a little prize in Anyway, you can buy them today, but are normally ridiculously expensive. When I found some at Sharp Shopper 3 boxes for a dollar I just had to pick some up. They were crackerjack. Old fashioned word named for the candy coated popcorn.

@snowy22315 They are bags at Walmart. You can rip them at the top like chips.

I used to love them and seeing the prize inside. We would get them every year at the Halloween parade.

I remember and thought it was such a cool treat. I liked the candy coated popcorn and was always excited to see which prize would be in the box.

There is a prize int this one. It looks like some kind of maze, but you might have to buy more pieces to complete it.
