MUTH’S TRUTHS

Is nothing sacred?

I just read that Cracker Jack boxes will no longer come with an actual prize inside.  Instead, you’ll get a sticker with a QR code that you’ll have to scan and then go online to get access to “four mobile, baseball-themed games.”

Frito-Lay says the new online prize “allows families to enjoy their favorite baseball moments through a new one-of-a-kind mobile experience, leveraging digital technology to bring the iconic Prize Inside to life.”

Leverage THIS, Frito-Lay!

Seriously, this might well be the stupidest corporate bean-counter decision since “New Coke.”  Maybe even stupider.  Whatever dumbass in the marketing department came up with this brain-dead idea ought to be drawn-and-quartered.  Talk about stuck on stupid.  No more Cracker Jacks for me.

Cheers.
