Gosh, I can't remember the last time that I had Animal Crackers. I remember loving those little boxes of Barnum's that looked like a circus train car. When reading about today, I learned that in 2018 they changed the box so that the animals aren't in cages anymore. PETA took the credit for that. They've been around since 1902!! I can remember always wanting to bite the heads off the animals first :giggle and the iced ones were my favorite.

Do you like Animal Crackers? Have you had them recently?
 
I loved those boxes too! My dad would buy them for me whenever I'd go grocery shopping with him when I was little. We actually had some animal crackers recently thanks to a visit to Grandma's house, but they weren't as delicious as the boxed kind. I liked to mix different animal heads and bodies to make new animals.
 
I used to like animal crackers, but in my sophomore year of college the iced ones were the last thing I ate right before I was attacked by a really horrendous stomach flu (during finals week o_O) and they completely lost their appeal after that. :td
 
I loved the plain ones in the little box with the string handle as a kid. We said it was our purse and would carry around our stuff in them. Now we get the Mother’s circus animal cookies. They’re icing with sprinkles is the best.

Oh, I adored Animal Crackers when I was a kid. I'd eat them so slowly because they were such a treat. I remember carrying around the box with me for months afterwards, using it for a purse! I think I was about 4 years old. I was also very excited to find some gluten-free ones a while back. I do like the pink and white frosting covered ones the best. That's probably because I love sugar. lol!

Mmmm, those are the best. I used to by plain animal crackers for my kids but the generic ones in the big bag. We've sort of outgrown that phase those. :(
 
I have to agree with @keepscrappin Kayla, the ones with the frosting are my all time favorite! cause I mean who can resist sprinkles?? and pink elephants?? like no one..

and my kids were always fans of the plain jane ones when they were wee things (once upon a time...)...
we still get the plain jane ones sometimes ... I like to throw them in a nice tomato soup bath and watch them float .. or top them with frosting.. or nutella! mmmm
