Yahoo Finance reports:

On Tuesday, PepsiCo’s (PEP) 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.
