    fuckyeahspiderwife: MJ: Sorry, but I was in the showe— Peter? Hey, what are you doing here, tiger?PETER: I was in the neighborhood … and I thought I’d sare some dessert with you.MJ: Cracker-jacks? I haven’t had these since I was still in mini-skirts. Look, they still have a toy in ever— Wait a sec … this isn’t a toy, it’s a real diamond ring! Peter … wh-what does this mean?PETER: Mary Jane, will you marry me?MJ: Gulp! comicbookkissyface: Peter & MJ…the Cracker Jack proposal. Amazing Spider-Man v1 #182 Poor MJ’s face! I was so confused when I first read this issue. “A Cracker Jack box, really? Really now?” But apparently, back in the day — back when Cracker Jack boxes had actual prizes in them, that is — this was a popular way to propose with a bit of whimsy. The things you learn from comics. But while we’re on the subject, Peter, let me point out that proposing to a woman before telling her about your dangerous double life as a masked vigilante that could potentially put her in harm’s way as well? That is so not on. You deserved to get dumped for that, jerk. (He proposed again about 100 issues later, and that time she said yes.)
