Geocache Description:

Magnetic key hider in a place that may be completely muggle free at times, and super-crowded at others. Play ball!

"Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks!"

Cracker Jacks were first mass-produced and sold at the first Chicago World's Fair in 1893. That fair was really good for food, because Aunt Jemima pancakes and the ice cream cone were also introduced there.

Legend has it that the name "Cracker Jack" came from a customer who upon trying the treat exclaimed "That's really a cracker - Jack!" and the name stuck. However, "crackerjack" was also a slang expression at that time that meant "something very pleasing or excellent" and that is more likely to have been the origin of the name.

Cracker Jack added surprises in each package in 1912. Since then, billions of toys have been delivered in Cracker Jack boxes. Hmm...kinda makes you think of geo-swag, right?

The boy on the Cracker Jack box image is Sailor Jack and his dog is called Bingo.

This cache is very near the site of a former cache that was retired due to consistent moisture issues.
