There's a New, Caffeinated Version of Cracker Jacks Called "Cracker Jack'd"

11/19/2012




Here's the latest and strangest product to follow the trend of squeezing caffeine into EVERYTHING.  Frito-Lay has announced they're about to release a new line of caffeinated CRACKER JACKS.  And to their credit, they've got a pretty good name:  Cracker Jack'd.  They'll have the same caramel popcorn and peanuts, but with something they call "power bites" wafers mixed in.  And those are made with coffee.

A two-ounce bag of Cracker Jack'd will have about 70 milligrams of caffeine.  For comparison's sake, that's about the same as a regular-sized can of Red Bull, which has 80 milligrams of caffeine.

But it's SIGNIFICANTLY less than a cup of Starbucks coffee.  A tall regular coffee at Starbucks has 260 milligrams of caffeine.  It's also about HALF of the caffeine you get in a 5-Hour Energy bottle.

Cracker Jack'd will be in stores before the end of the year.
