Animal Crackers Day | Pad Patter 4.18

[IntenseMagic]

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 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.

The frosted/coated ones are best! I didn't like the plain...really at all.

I love the plain ones, the iced ones, and the chocolate ones. I remember always loving the little boxes with the string handle when I was little.

Somewhere in what I read today it said that originally the string was there so it could be used as a Christmas ornament. I never knew that.

I hadn't thought about animal crackers in the longest time, until I came across this awesome LO by @Lmaggs:

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 ) and they completely lost their appeal after that.

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'm not a huge fan - however, I used to love those adorable little boxes.

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..

although I did have some chocolate plain animal crackers at my sisters the other day and they were pretty darn good too!

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
