25 Bucks and a Cracker

[edit]

Has the Passing Note under the Origins section about "25 bucks and a cracker" ever been verified? I know what whippets and a cracker are, but this explanation seems out of context for the song. I have always interpreted it to mean she has money for an abortion and a cracker for nausea from the anesthesia. My two cents anyway... 173.92.77.220 (talk) 01:30, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your thought of the line referencing an abortion had always been my thoughts since first hearing the song in the 1990s. Stocksdale (talk) 04:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
