Cracker Jacks are considered the first junk food by food historians. The best part of the Cracker Jack box was the prize, it was like winning the lottery. After looking at these listings, I realize my memories are fonder than the quality of the prize.
As for the fabric featured above, seersucker is a thin, sometimes puckered, all cotton fabric. Ideal for spring and summer wear, the lightweight quality and puckering facilitate air circulation, making it a popular fabric in warmer climates.
