** When Homer goes to the company that produced crackers and tries talking a trio of executives (consisting of two men and one woman) into honoring the contest for him and his family, they refuse to do so, as...
*** The contest ended thirty years previously and their company doesn't even make animal crackers anymore (the female of the trio claims that the company now makes household poisons and Christmas lights). Regardless of whether or not a winner is ever found, contests like that don't go on indefinitely.
*** When Homer tries pushing them into honoring what the box says, the executives say they don't have to because, as they put it, "an old box of cookies is not a legal contract." They only end up going through it to prevent a potential lawsuit when Homer gets hurt by the box and the executives realize that he could end suing their company.

** There is a ray of hope however; whilst the Simpsons are outright shown to have taken the offer of diamonds, the Greenpeace people aren't. Considering the Simpsons are the kind of people who would do things other people wouldn't, and not necessarily the right things, it's very likely they left Joan in Greenpeace's hands after taking their bribe.
