Where did cracker jack come from?

Answer 1

Cracker Jack originated in the United States, first appearing in the late 19th century. It was created by a German immigrant named Frederick William Rueckheim and his brother Louis, who began selling a mixture of popcorn, peanuts, and molasses at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The product was officially named "Cracker Jack" in 1896, and it became famous for including a prize inside each box, further enhancing its popularity.
