From: Ralston
Introduced in 1983


A magazine ad introducing this cereal in 1983 read, "Introducing Cracker Jack brand Cereal. Nutritious golden puffs of cracklin' crunch and a prize in every box."

Cereal boxes had the catchphrase "Taste so good, it'll make anyone crack a smile."

Company Description: Ralston was originally part of The Ralston-Purina Company which was formed in 1902. The name Ralston stems from a minor social movement in the late 19th Century called Ralstonism - created by Webster Edgerly. Followers of the movement (about 800,000) followed the motto "Regime, Activity, Light, Strength, Temperation, Oxygen and Nature" - the first letters of which spelled out "Ralston"...

Captain Crunch has a new cereal called Caramel Captain Crunch. It reminds me of Cracker Jack cereal. Pretty good.
