PepsiCo unveils Cracker Jill to celebrate women in sports
On Tuesday, PepsiCp subsidiary Frito-Lay announced Cracker Jills will be a permanent member of its snack roster as a way to celebrate women who break down barriers in sports. The snack will be available in pro ballparks and via a $5+ donation to the Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF). In addition, PepsiCo will donate $200,000 to the foundation.
The reimagined classic uses the same recipe as the 125-year old classic Cracker Jack but features five different representations of women on the special-edition bags. The five "Jills," which were brought to life by artist and model Monica Ahanonu, were inspired by the most represented ethnicities in the U.S. according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. https://news.yahoo.com/pepsi-co-unveils-cracker-jill-recreation-of-the-classic-cracker-jack-163523412.html
Of course it's ethnically diverse and politically correct. In fact, I assume it won't be more than a week before PepsiCo further elaborates that at least one of the "Jills" is lesbian, one is autistic, and a third one is transgender.
And $5 for a bag that holds less than 4 oz. of product? I'll bet it won't include a toy, either.
WTF is this world coming to??? -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
The men who self-identify as having a small penis that affects their lives in substantively negative ways and who have commented to this effect on Mental Help Net tend to share characteristics in common
A certain psychological rigidity, obsessionality or fixation is present. These men are absolutely adamant in their conviction that their genitalia are too small. They insist that they have measured themselves and seem inordinately focused on such measurement. They are similarly convinced that they are incapable of pleasing a woman via intercourse, although they are, by and large, not able to cite much evidence to show that this is true. In fact, many of these men admit to having had few or no sexual experiences. There is an implication that some of the few sexual experiences had by some of these men were with prostitutes. Many may have had only a single sexual encounter. Others state that they avoid sexuality entirely as they feel deeply ashamed of their penis size. All of these men affirm the belief that women would universally treat them with contempt if they were to see them nude.
These men with Small Penis Syndrome are very much focused and fixated on women and what women want or don't want. They seem to view females as ridiculing, castrating, powerful and "goddess like". The "goddess" energy that is attributed to women is less the positive sexuality of an Aphrodite, however, and more the devouring energy of a Kali. The classical image of the "Vagina Dentata" (the mythic toothed vagina that can bite your penis off) comes to mind.
A Variety of Anxiety Disorder
This highly idealized and unrealistically threatening view of "all women" (at least of "all women" who are potential sexual partners), and the associated avoidance behavior and consequent lack of actual peer relationships with women when such relationships are longed for so achingly is consistent with the idea that Small Penis Syndrome involves, in some cases, a variety of anxiety disorder along the lines of Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder). These men engage in avoidance behavior and express deep and fundamental fears about their appearance, ability to perform sexually, and their social adequacy. This fear is further perpetuated by very distorted thinking about women and sexuality.
The anxiety and shame and lack of actual relationship experience characteristic of men with Small Penis Syndrome leads them to feel hopeless and depressed and in some cases, suicidal. This much is clear from statements within comments some of these men have left concerning how they feel miserable and wish to die.
The cognitive rigidity present in mens comments is consistent with the idea that an anxiety disorder or depressive issue is present. These men display prominent cognitive biases in that they easily accept information that tends to confirm their perception of self as inadequate, but reject information that is contrary to their convictions. Only data that convinces them of the smallness of their size and the hopelessness of their existential position is taken seriously and accepted as fact. Our attempts to argue points of fact with these men were adamantly rejected, and we were more than once accused of holding out false hope when we claimed that having a small penis did not have to be the end of the world.
Possibly: Developmental Delay and Inverted Narcissism
Small penis syndrome may be describing something more than simple anxiety and depression issues in some cases. The degree of rigidity of beliefs about the penis and about the rejecting nature of women is very high in some of these men, suggesting something akin to a personality disorder, or, more simply, a developmental delay that some of these men may have experienced in terms of their social maturity, perhaps as a consequence of the trauma of their shame over their small penis. It appears that in some cases, these men's view of women remains cast in the relationship of boy to mother (or, if you prefer, worshiper to goddess), rather than adult man to adult woman. There is little sense of these men believing they are in peer relationships with women.
We have come up with the term "Inverted Narcissism" in our attempts to try to characterize the nature of the developmental delay we've perceived occurring in Small Penis Syndrome. To understand what we mean by inverted narcissism, it is first important to understand the psychological term "narcissism".
Fundamentally, narcissism refers to a person's excessive interest in their self and in the way they look. The narcissist displays a grandiose way of thinking about their own talents, beauty, masculinity or femininity and intelligence. While they have an inflated sense of self-worth, they are generally devaluing and dismissive of others. In fact, to the narcissist, other people are generally not treated as peers, but instead as mere objects to be exploited for selfish motives. A very clear example of a male narcissist would be the "Casanova" who promises women everything in order to exploit them for sexual favors and who abandons them after having gotten what he wants from them.
Inverted Narcissism is a form of narcissism where the roles of exploited and exploiter are reversed from their classical position. The inverted narcissist views himself as nothing more than an object - in this case a penis - to be exploited by others. Other people - in this case potential sexual partners - are seen as all powerful, beautiful, exploiting and derisive. Women are believed to want nothing from a man except a large penis. Women, always cruel and capricious in this view, will abandon men if their penis fails to satisfy. Women will reject any man with a small penis in the most derisive way possible.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I'm offended also. A more appropriate name would be something like "Women in Sports Celebratory Candy Coated Popcorn Peanuts and A Prize*" (*if prize included)"
It kind of rolls off the tongue more smoothly too...

Hey, I have been offended by Cracker Jacks for a long time. No respect for tradition. No longer in a box marked 'peanuts' on one end and 'toy' on the other. just a bag.
The 'prize' for a long time has been a stupid little square of cardboard you are supposed to tear apart and so something with it that never quite works.
"Crackerjack" back in the day meant something that was very very good at being what they were supposed to be. That was back when Hollywood could make a movie called "Our hearts were young and gay" about two teenage females and no sexual behavior between them implied. Now things have become so queer that I can't say I'm gay, no matter how good my mood.
False advertising, only three of them are crackers.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.
I post about a junkfood going the #Me Too, full-out lit, liberal, and PC route, and BSG immediately somehow finds a way to use her psychology degree — which she obviously obtained while also getting her LLD and passing the bar exam, all while lying on her back as a young girl and gaining sexual knowledge and expertise that even Xaviera Hollander never had... man, this chick has talents that would put even Donald Trump to shame! — to channel her inner Frasier Crane and issue a ten-second diagnosis about sexual inadequacy and poor self-esteem (which is also rooted in/explained away in sexual terms and references), completely missing the point of my OP by so much that she must be off on her own little gummy-inspired cloud.
Nice to get an insight into just where her mind runs. Seems to me SHE'S the one who's fixated on sex, who's getting some, and how much they're getting. And based on what she posted here, I assume that the Roto-Rooter man hasn't been at her house lately either. -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
BP, I haven't had Cracker Jacks for a very long time, but I never recall the prizes being anything but pure junk; indeed, whn I was a kid, the phrase "came from a cracker jack box" denoted junk, pure and simple. I can't believe the paper prize is any worse. FWIW, I think I recall reading they once included baseball cards as the prize (long before I ever had them)--that may have been OK.
Of course it's ethnically diverse and politically correct. In fact, I assume it won't be more than a week before PepsiCo further elaborates that at least one of the "Jills" is lesbian, one is autistic, and a third one is transgender.
They haven't included a chubbysorry, body positive, one either....

False advertising, only three of them are crackers.
I see a Blacker Jill, Latina Jill, Unknown (maybe American Indian Jill), Asian Jill and a Honky Jill.
You do know that different honkey groups have different skin tones. My north African brothers are darker than those of Iceland.
And, we all know that the most beautiful crackerettes are blonds; even blacks believe that, or they wouldn't have a miss black America pageant.

I though pop-tarts know how to suddenly show up with contraception whereas mom-tarts are more respectable than their wayward sisters
