Cracker Jack Gets A Companion: Classic Snack Gets New Face

Jack has a new teammate.

  • One of baseball's most iconic snacks - Cracker Jack - is adding a new player to its lineup.
  • Frito-Lay (Cracker Jack's parent company) announced on Tuesday that "Cracker Jill" will be the brand's newest face on packaging.
  • The move is an effort to promote women in sports. 
  • Cracker Jill will come to life through five different special-edition bags at Major League ballparks across the country this summer.
  • A statement from Frito-Lay said it was time to celebrate girls and women who are "breaking the mold" and deserve to be represented.
  • How do you feel about "classics" being updated like Cracker Jill (also M&M recently announced a redesign of their characters to better fit in a more "progressive" world)?
