Want a free surprise in the mail? I''m clearing out my collection of gumball machine toys. Just e-mail me your address. It'll be like Cracker Jacks, but without anything tasty to eat.

I think the peanuts in Cracker Jacks are kind of tasty.

The box that Cracker Jack comes in is delicious.

It's Cracker Jack. Not Cracker Jacks!!

I got something good out of a gumball machine once.

Growing up allergic to peanuts meant no Cracker Jack for me, boo hoo. Had to settle for generic Caramel Corn and the toys that occasionally came in cereal boxes. Screaming Yellow Zonkers didn't even hit he stores until I was 10 or 11.

Oo, I should have said cereal boxes, not Cracker Jack s !
(That's a strikeout on the "s", iconomy.)

Coming your way next week, folks. I'll raid the house and try to make the surprises fun.

Screaming Yellow Zonkers rock, especially the name. I wonder if they're vegan.
