JUST LIKE OLD TIMES (ALMOST).

  JUST LIKE OLD TIMES (ALMOST).

   I often talk, think, and write about what
I call "used to bes." Things, places, and
people from the old days that aren't
around anymore.
   Sometimes, however, it's refreshing
to find out that some "used to bes"
still are!
    Such is the case with a supply of
Cracker Jacks my daughter provided
to us last week!
    Here's a treat that has not only
stood the test of time but has been
immortalized in song (Take Me Out
To The Ballgame.)! You don't even
have to buy peanuts separately as a
few of them are included with each
package.
    Now to be honest, there have been
a few changes. You'll notice I wrote
"package" rather than "box."
     Cracker Jacks now come in a bag
instead of the box you may remember.
     There's still a prize inside but no
where near the great whistles or rings
or such we used to get back in the day.
      Prizes now are generally stickers
although you can go to a web site for
a chance at other goods.
     One thing I'm especially happy
about. They still taste the same!!!
And the taste, the name, and even
the prize are likely to take you back
a few years!
      Hope you get to try some again
and that all your NEWS is good.
