Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What rule of eating does not apply to Nabisco's animal crackers?

Answer: "Don't play with your food"

Animal crackers almost beg kids to play with them. After all, with their many different animals and shapes, you had your own zoo to work with. Be honest, didn't you like to eat the head off first?

2. By September, 2002 the company will add a new animal cracker. How many different animals crackers will there have been over the years, then?

Answer: 54

I was always eager to see what the different animals were in my box, of course at my age there was not so many to choose from when I was a kid. With the addition of the new shape there will be 19 different animals in the box.

3. What kind of animal was added to Barnum's crackers for the 100th anniversary in 2002?

The outrageously funny Marx Brothers' second movie was called "Animal Crackers".
