My drivers license, at least that is where my wife claims it is from.

Certainly not anything edible.

A whistle.

Honestly, I don't remember ever getting a decent prize in Cracker Jacks. Seems like it was always a tiny piece of plastic "toy", or a little booklet of puzzles or the like. This would have been in the late 70's - I don't recall ever getting a prize since then (I rarely have Cracker Jacks now, and when I do, it's at a party or something where they buy the bulk) I do like the stuff though.

There was an error in the movie "Contact" where the guy gets a compass in a cracker jack box. They don't put those kinds of prices in the boxes.

I believe it was in the late 70's when Cracker Jack started shipping a small fold-and-tear comic or paper device as its prize. That was to reduce choking hazards and a slight reduction in costs.

I used to like the tiny baseball cards they put in the packs at ballparks for a while. Nobody you ever knew of course, but still neat. Now it's just a crappy joke or something.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
