Celebrate Today – Crackerjack Milestone
Did you know that today, February 19, 1913 was the first time Crackerjack put a prize in their box of caramel popcorn? Growing up over the years, I am sure that everyone has had a box of Crackerjacks and was it for the popcorn or the prize? I always coveted the prize and I am sure that others did as well. So today, I celebrate the Crackerjack milestone.
It’s all about marketing your brand and even though the prize wasn’t valuable money wise, it was sure valuable to those that discovered one in the box. The fun was searching the box before eating any of the Crackerjack popcorn. As I write this post, I can taste the popcorn and memories of the red box come flying back.
So to celebrate Crackerjack’s Milestone, I have a card using the Feeling sentimental stamp set which fits with the nostalgia of the day.

I loved the caramel popcorn and prize!! The peanuts — not so much!!
Wonderful work with the ferriswheel, Karen! That brings back fun memories, too!
I love to celebrate…and eat! haha…great card…thanks for the factoids!
Beautiful card. The colours are gorgeous!
Very pretty and I love how you’ve created with the sentiment!
Karen thanks for the nostalgia! Love it. I actually remember when it was a real “prize” inside and not a rubon like today. Can’t beat a good super spy ring!
Love your card and I just got that set and can’t wait to ink it up! hugs.
Wonderful card! I love this image, reminds me when I was a child.
Great memories! I loved searching for that prize. I like your ferris wheel image.
What a memory jogger! Love the card with that pretty image on it – and the way you did the sentiment is wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cracker Jack – I still love that stuff and can remember how I would dig for that “treasure”! Another fond memory!
