I saw something on TV where a gentleman was asking people if certain things were offensive and if their names should be changed. He asked if Cracker Jacks should be changed to something like White People Jacks because "cracker" is offensive to the White Community. But is it also offensive that Jack is a boy? Do you find Cracker Jack offensive? If so, what should the name be? VOTE BELOW!
Jack was a common term for a sailor and became a common term for anyone living in a port city. It comes from a type of oil they wiped on clothes to make them waterproof.
But yes cracker is offensive, we prefer to to be in known as gammons.

I had no idea cracker was meant to be offensive tbh
Cracker jack has long meant of excellent quality, outstanding skill or ability. How could a snack named for such a good trait be offensive?
It needs to stay the way it is, otherwise we would have to change the words to the song "Take me out to the ballgame."
