What is your favorite cracker jack surprise?

Mine was a little green saw that my sister threw in a cornfield because she was jealous. At least, I think it came from a cracker jack box.

1. Back in the 50's (when the prizes weren't bad)

I got a little flip book that let you match the top half of one animal with the bottom of another, and the pages cobbled together a cute name for the hybrid. For some reason that fascinated me.

2. I remember that!

3. I much preferred the 3-D toys to paper things that became more common later on...

I scarcely remember what they were but I do remember thinking WTF? when paper booklet things became more and more frequent.

4. Check out that I.D. Tag and drag car.

Those ARE cool.

I remember a paper paint set. You had to rip it apart and one side was the paint, and the other side was the picture you were suppose to color.

6. I'm not sure.

They look familiar, I might have gotten one of those!

I think I remember getting cars with separate wheels that snapped off and some other things that required a bit of assembly.

7. I found the holy grail of cracker jack toys:

Pinball machines!

Unfortunately the link won't copy and paste.

14. Yep. Those and the pinball machines.

I don't remember any of the other prizes.

15. I don't know about favorite, but my least favorite is driver licenses...

at least that's where I think half the drivers around here must get theirs, out of a Cracker Jacks box.

16. The little ball puzzle games.

17. The peanuts. They were as rare as the prizes.

18. When I was a kid in the '60's, my Dad worked at Cracker Jack. I went into the hospital once and...

...while I was staying there, Dad went down to the CJ packaging area and scored several fistfuls of prizes, all in the little condom-esque packs, and brought them to me. We were the hit of the children's ward!
