Barnum's Animal Crackers

Barnum's Animal Crackers are a popular cookie introduced in the early 1900s, known for their distinctive animal-shaped cookies and colorful, whimsical packaging. Manufactured by the Nabisco brand, these cookies are crunchy, mildly sweet, and typically feature a variety of animal designs such as lions, elephants, and giraffes. They became a nostalgic treat enjoyed by many generations and are often associated with childhood snacking and circus imagery, reflecting their branding that ties to P.T. Barnum’s famous circus acts.
