Seriously? The product is caramel coated popcorn, you'd think they might give it a more appropriate name, such as..

Caramel Jills

Edit: For people that aren't aware, this is their rebranding of Cracker Jacks, to try to be inclusive or some shit. I think they did a terrible rebranding of this, for reasons already stated. :(

Meanwhile, everyone else understands that Cracker is a racist insult towards white people, along with Honkey.

God forbid anyone even quotes the N word though..

    Is it racist? It's a reference of slave masters cracking the whip. Not white people having the same color as a saltine cracker.

    Is it racist to call a white man a cracker or a honkey?

    Is it racist to call me a red man? Ya know, Native American?...

    Hey dumdum, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Try using your brain why black people have it a little worse.

    Are you trolling? You seem angry it isn't acceptable in society to say the N word? You want to say it?

    I want to take the time to explain the reason everyone is calling you racist. You are insisting a product change its name BECAUSE of the color of someone's skin. You chose caramel because it is more appropriate for her skin color by your reasoning and doesn't use the products name, which you find offensive.

    The popcorn obviously isn't referring to race in any way, but you made it about that and came up with a pretty racist solution.

    Next time get the gum at cvs and not some popcorn. If you don't like a product, don't give them your money. Easypeasy. No need to get worked up.

    Cracker is to white as N***** is to black.

    Please explain the difference, and why I shouldn't be equally upset...

    If you’re comparing the badness of two words, and you won’t even say one of them? That’s the worse word

    True, I can compare many words. Which word would you like me to say?

    Preferably "I've been doing a lot of introspection and am really sorry that my internalized issues manifested in a way that caused me to hurt others."

    'Cracker Jacks' heavily refers to baseball, the crack of the bat...

    Then put into context how old the company is...

    Their old mindset was basically 'white people play baseball, black people play basketball'

    Cracker Jacks was founded in the late 1800s, around 1896.

    One term came from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/removed

    The other was made by white people to describe other white people btw. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(term)

    Get over yourself. Read a book.
