Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize...

[sticks and stones]

... That's what you get in Cracker Jacks! COSI (Center of Science and Industry, Columbus Ohio) is home to the world’s largest collection of Cracker Jack Box Prizes. You'll find it tucked away in an obscure back hallway:





My FZ10 was handheld for the wide shot and placed directly on the display's glass case for the close-up shot.

Thanks for Looking,

It's another little bit of nostalgic Americana, Billy. "Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize" was the advertising slogan that we all grew up with in the U.S. It's even in the song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" (our 7th inning stretch baseball anthem): "...buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don't care if I never get back..."

You'd have a box of this stuff and get it all stuck in your teeth. Then, you'd dig through the box looking for the little paper wrapped prize. It's still sold everywhere in the U.S. My kids don't particularly care for it, but they still like McDonald's Happy Meals.

Yes, we are a very strange lot .

Best,
EdK
