Whatever company makes Cracker Jack. Not because they horribly wronged me or anything, but because their prizes nowadays suck, and you can get the exact same product cheaper from other snack-food brands. There's just no longer an incentive to buy that product.
Well, today you usually get a football team sticker or a decorated piece of paper with a hole in it, labeled as a "pencil topper". Back in the day (like, way back in the day, when my grandparents were kids), you'd get stuff like baseball cards, toy rings, and plastic figurines. I've never gotten anything neat since I'm a young'un, but even I've seen the quality of the stickers get somehow worse.
