Happy National Animal Crackers Day

Sing with me, "Animal Crackers in my soup. Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop."

Animal Cracker Ice Cream sandwiches are a roar-erriffic twist!

Everyone recognizes little Shirley Temple's voice singing, "Animal Crackers" - just like we also recognize Nabisco's "Barnum's Animal Crackers." But did you know that animal-shaped biscuit cookies were first produced in the United States by Stauffer’s Biscuit Company in 1871 in York, PA? (Prior to that, they were shipped from England.) Better yet, next time you are at Pub Trivia Night, remember it was in 1902 that circus-themed animal biscuit crackers officially became known as "Barnum's Animals."
