The Rueckheim Brothers’ Sweet Confection 1Two brothers, F.W. and Louis Rueckheim, developed a recipe in the late 1800s to compose a sweet molasses-covered popcorn and peanut candy. Their confection was unique, because the sugary coating didn’t make the popcorn stick together. 2 The Rueckheims introduced their creation at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, which was the same year that additional interesting inventions were introduced to the world. For the first time, people glimpsed the Ferris Wheel. Aunt Jemima syrup, and Juicy Fruit gum. 3 It wasn’t until several years later, however, that the Crackerjack received its official name. When Louis Rueckheim offered the candy-covered popcorn to a traveling salesman, the man declared, “That’s a Crackerjack!” This phrase was a popular saying of the day that meant the candy was a “good idea.” The name stuck, and the Rueckheim brothers’ sweet creation has been called Cracker Jack ever since. 4Cracker Jacks are very popular at baseball games. Maybe it’s because the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” references Cracker Jacks in the third line, or maybe it’s because people just like to find a prize during the seventh-inning stretch. 1. In the third paragraph, the phrase “the name stuck” means that the name ______________.
