| The
history of Cracker Jack began in 1872
with a one-popper popcorn stand in Chicago.
In 1896, a salesperson who tried the treat
exclaimed,"That's a cracker jack!" The slogan
"The More You Eat, The More You Want" was
copyrighted and the trademark name "Cracker
Jack" was used ever since. |
|
| |
| "A
prize in every box" was introduced in 1912,
and many of the prizes have become valuable collectibles.
Today, Cracker Jack has established some interesting
facts: |
