I emailed them, whining and begging them to stop beating my inner child with the cruel withholding of Screaming Yellow Zonkers...but I doubt the corp giant will hear little ol' me. Secondly I feel compelled to mention, to the person who said they didn't offer the prize like Cracker Jacks...shenanigans!! No, they don't in recent years...but when I was a kid in the 80's, they had these awesome plastic monsters in there. Word to the wise...if a quirky snack company ever runs a weird promo and puts toys in the package, SAVE THEM forever! They're probably worth money now. Hell, an unopened box of Zonkers is probably worth a small fortune now. Good luck finding one though...impossible to hoard Zonkers and keep them unmunched for long...how are those 24 boxes doin' there, cupcake-person? ;)Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12343936.post-90940441457587603392010-03-29T20:34:42.510-04:002010-03-29T20:34:42.510-04:00Looks like someone has picked up the torch and is ...Looks like someone has picked up the torch and is making these for sale!

I don't want carmel, I don't want nuts, I don't want toffee, no thanks CrackerJack....I long for the plain sweet tasty buttery, salty goodness of the departed Zonkers.

Had to have vanity plates, of course- never really seriously considered 'em before...<BR/><BR/>Best choice by poll of friends, family and self: ZONKR, al la Screaming Yellow. But most who see it think of other Zonkers.

The next day I return to Walgreens to find they will no longer stock them. What was on the shelf is all they had. I strategically zip to every Walgreens in a 40 mile radius only to find empty shelves where my beloved Screaming Yellow Zonkers once stood. I'm going Zonkers<BR/>without my SCREAMING YELLOW ZONKERS. I know............I need therapy. 24 boxes that will be a good start!<BR/><BR/>Ticia<BR/>AtlantaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12343936.post-1141744404698001422006-03-07T10:13:00.000-05:002006-03-07T10:13:00.000-05:00I've got Zonkers, man!

They're not brown like little poop nuggets and they don't have those awful coated peanut-like lumps (sorry C Jack lovers). Zonkers doesn't have the cool prize, but I'm ok without one more microscopic magnifying glass or goofy blurry tattoo. Yeah for you, CQ. Yes, hide the rest. No, don't bring them to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12343936.post-1141489767369831282006-03-04T11:29:00.000-05:002006-03-04T11:29:00.000-05:00I've never heard of the stuff before- i need to go...I've never heard of the stuff before- i need to go on a mission and find it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12343936.post-1141426213335318212006-03-03T17:50:00.000-05:002006-03-03T17:50:00.000-05:00I love that stuff!
