Nostalgic Food Brands

Granted, this old-fashioned version of a Cracker Jack box is "vintage" enough to pre-date my childhood, yet it conjures images of a happy time for me. When I was very small, my mother would often bring me home a box of Cracker Jack after an afternoon of running errands and shopping. Back then, it didn't take much more than some caramel popcorn and a nifty prize, torn out of its sticky wrapper at the bottom of the box, to make me smile.

Food brands from our past just seem to have an effect on us that way--one taste, one smell, and we're right back at that moment when life was oh-so-simple.

This vintage package is sold exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores.
