Cracker Jacks
It is always nice to visit old friends. Today’s FamSite takes us back to our childhood, and our parent’s childhood, and even our grandparent’s childhood.
It is the ever popular and delicious candy snack Cracker Jacks. The caramel-coated popcorn and peanut candy has been around since late in the 19th century. It is fondly remembered as the candy with the prize inside. I can remember getting them and playing for hours with the toys. Such are the dreams of nostalgia. Here, through the magic of the Internet, you can learn about the history of the candy, the prizes that were and are inside, and some fun online games to boot.
This is a site to share, not only with your kids, but with your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. The magic of Cracker Jacks have transcended the generations. Have a nice stop here today.
I’m looking for info on cracker jack boxes from 1960. Anybody have any idea what they looked like then and where I can get one? I need this urgently so I would really appreciate a response—THANKS SO MUCH!!!
