Along with Cracker Jack, which I wrote about a couple of days ago, another thing I remember from my childhood days is animal cookies. Sometimes they are called animal crackers. But actually they are cookies.
The boxes in the picture above look the same as they did many years ago when I
used to get them. You can see in the picture that the box has a cloth string attached at each end of the box. After the cookies were gone I usually kept the boxes a few days to play with, until they ended up getting torn and dirty.
I am not certain but I think you can still buy animal cookies in the same kind of box to this day. You can also buy animal cookies in big bags, which are probably a better bargain than the boxes. I have not had any in a while but I did some time ago buy a
bag of them. I like them now as well as I did then but they are not as much fun as they were then. They are just a plain little sugar cookie but they were lots of fun to
eat, and play with. I must have not reached my second childhood days yet because I
would just want to eat them now--not play with them!
