Just kidding, folks. It has the exact same ingredients as Cracker Jack. BUT, since I'm on the subject of Cracker Jack's nuts...
For years, Cracker Jack fans lamented what they saw as a decrease in the number of peanuts inside each box. The company refused to address the issue, but unofficial tests proved the fans right. In 2005, for instance, The Seattle Times found that boxes contained around six peanuts. Compare that to Cracker Jacks early days, when boxes typically contained 25 to 30 peanuts, and its years under Bordens ownership (1964-1997), when it promised 12 to 15 peanuts per box, and its clear a peanut conspiracy was afoot. In 2013, parent company Frito-Lay tried to set things right by upping the peanut count. But some fans still long for those peanut-filled days of old.
