Yeah, get her a set of those, and see how fast you end up on the couch.
I was thinking about a similar thing a few days ago, seeing foil bags of Cracker Jack on the store shelves.

If you have a Big Lots Store nearby or a Five Below Store, they sometimes have the Cracker Jacks in foil bags.
Yes, they have them in every gas station and grocery store now. I was saying the days of the old slim cardboard boxes are gone.
Nor the sliced fingers from the sharp edges of the lid and can.Then it’s the vintage packaging you don’t see anymore!
Gave new meaning to the term 'blood pudding'.

Ain’t that the truth on the blood part. Speaking of which, let’s not forget those wonderfully unsafe that pop tops on the old soda & beer cans.Nor the sliced fingers from the sharp edges of the lid and can.

I remember the story of the guy that dropped the tab into the can right after opening it, then gulped down the soda or beer. The tab slid down his throat and supposedly carved up his esophagus pretty bad. Don't know if that's a true story or an urban legend, but even before I heard that I thankfully had enough sense not to do that.Ain’t that the truth on the blood part.

I actually have some of the boxes here right now. I got them at Big Lots. I can send some to you.
I recall seeing that scenario on the TV show "Emergency!" As it was produced by Jack Webb, it's plausible that they could have been drawing on actual case files for plots to portray.
Either way, like a lot of folks did, I used to drop the pull tabs into the can as well. I do vividly remember deciding I would stop that habit right [bleep]ing then and there as I watched that episode. Definitely did not want to become that guy.
ETA: Found the episode in question: Season 5, Episode 3, "Election:"
Roy and John become candidates to represent Station 51 on the welfare committee. The firefighters first save a man who got his arm stuck in a drainpipe, then his brother, who swallows a beverage-can pull tab and aspirates.

What happened to the Cracker Jack toys? All they are now are paper items.

I had several occasions at party’s where some bone head would drop their cigarette butt in the can and I got a mouthful of gross ash. I went to putting my beer in a glass and holding it so I wasn’t made sick. Thankfully people don’t smoke like they used too but I still guard my drink out of habit. Ha!
Paper is easier to digest. You know someone is going to swallow whatever it is.

I'm guessing I bought this forty+ years ago. After countless setups it works like the day I bought it.
The built in mic works great for acoustic guitars as well.

Yes! Still have mine and it still works. Can't remember what I paid for it back in the late 70s/early 80s, but it wasn't cheap.
