DUBBLE BUBBLE

Dubble Bubble is a brand of pink-colored bubble gum invented by Walter Diemer,

an accountant at Philadelphia-based Fleer Chewing Gum Company.

 

The gum was given its name when someone at the company deemed that it was

Dubble Bubble referring to the fact that the bubbles blew much larger

than the previous Fleer product, Blibber Blubber.

CRACKER JACK

A German immigrant named Frederick "Fritz" William Rueckheim

invented Cracker Jack, a snack consisting of molasses-flavored

caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts.

Rueckheim came to Chicago to help clean up after the famous Chicago fire.

He also worked selling popcorn from a cart.

 

Legend has it that the name “Cracker Jack” came from

A customer who, upon trying the treat, exclaimed,

“that really a cracker – Jack”

 

Cracker Jack’s mascots Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo,

Were introduced as early as 1916 and registered as in 1919.

Sailor Jack was modeled after Robert Frederick’s grandson

and Bingo was based on Henry Eckstein’s dog Russell

 

In 1899, Henry Gottlieb Eckstein developed the "waxed sealed package"

for freshness, known then as the "Eckstein Triple Proof Package",

a dust-, germ-, and moisture-proof paper package.
