"Firsts at the Fair" This sweet/salty treat was introduced at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. It wasn't called Cracker Jack at the time, but it was liked so much by the public that people said it was "cracker jack" (meaning great).

Read the review in the Wednesday Journal:

This charming historical musical, set in Chicago during the picturesque 1893 Columbian Exposition, provides plenty of romance, humor and escapism.
