Cracker Jack Day |
In the early 1890s, F.W. Rueckheim started selling peanuts and caramels at his popcorn stand. He then combined all three products to sell at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. He called his invention "Candied Popcorn and Peanuts". When a friend tried the new combination, he yelled out "That's Crackerjack!" to change the name. The snack was immortalized in 1908 in the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with the words "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack." |
