NATIONAL CARAMEL POPCORN DAY – April 6
Thu Apr 6th

National Caramel Popcorn Day

Every year on April 6th, National Caramel Popcorn Day brings back memories of fairs, sporting performances, and fun snacking.

In January, we celebrated National Popcorn Day. We now have delectable caramel popcorn, one of America's favorite snacks. For those people, this chewy or crunchy caramel popcorn snack is an all-time favorite.

In the early 1800s, combining popcorn and molasses was common. However, caramel was popular, as well as Cracker Jack's production, and the popularity of Cracker Jack was ever-increasing. The popcorn store experimented with creating a new snack, which was invented by Frederick Rueckheim. Louis, a German immigrant who moved from Germany to Chicago, enlisted his brother, Manuel, to assist. Their snack was ready to be introduced to the masses after adding molasses and nuts.

Cracker Jack became popular on the stage at the 1893 World's Fair, like many popular foods. Other foods to capture the public's attention at similar expositions include cotton candy and the ice cream cone.. Although they weren't invented there nor did they make their debut, they did capture the imagination and make a lasting impression there.

However, something happened in 1908 to link Cracker Jack and baseball permanently in the American psyche, as well as the company's growth... Jack Norworth penned a catchy tune referring to Cracker Jack and the American pastime. The song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" not only increased sales of the snack food, but the game's followers continue to sing the song at every game.

Many commercial brands and varieties of caramel corn are available in grocery stores, theaters, and convenience stores. In addition, specialty brands are also available in supermarkets, gift catalogs, and online.
