About Cracker Jack : The story begins in 1871 in Chicago , when Frederick William "Fritz" Rueckheim , a German immigrant who arrived in the United States at age 14, opened a popcorn stand after the Great Chicago Fire. In 1873 , his brother Louis joined him from Germany, and together they founded FW Rueckheim & Bro . In 1893 , they introduced their new creation—popcorn mixed with peanuts and molasses—at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago . The product was well-received but too sticky! In 1896 , Louis discovered a secret process (adding oil during mixing) that prevented the kernels from clumping together. When a vendor tasted the new recipe, he exclaimed, " That's a cracker jack! "—an expression meaning "that's fantastic!" at the time. The name was adopted and registered the same year with the slogan " The More You Eat, The More You Want ." In 1899 , Henry Gottlieb Eckstein invented the airtight "Triple Proof" packaging, enabling nationwide distribution. In 1908 , Jack Norworth immortalized Cracker Jack in his song " Take Me Out to the Ball Game " with the lyrics "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack"—forever linking the brand to American baseball. In 1912 , the tradition of the " Prize in Every Box" was established. In 1916 , the mascots Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo appeared on the boxes, designed by Andrew Loomis . Sailor Jack was inspired by Robert Rueckheim , Frederick's grandson, who tragically died of pneumonia at the age of seven shortly afterward. The image is engraved on Frederick's tombstone. Borden acquired the brand in 1964 , then sold it to Frito-Lay (PepsiCo) in 1997. Production is currently handled by Wyandot Snacks in Marion, Ohio . Cracker Jack remains a staple in all Major League Baseball stadiums and is still one of the most iconic snacks in American culture!
