Cracker Jack Lagniappe
lagniappe (lan yap'): - n. 1. Chiefly Southern Louisiana and Southeast Texas, a small gift given with a purchase to a customer, by way of compliment or for good measure; bonus.
A little something extra--all Cracker Jack prizes might be considered lagniappe, something thrown in free with the purchase of Cracker Jack confection. Of course, for avid Cracker Jack collectors, the caramel popcorn and candied peanuts might be considered the lagniappe that comes with the prize.Since the primary focus of "The Cracker Jack Box" is Cracker Jack prize collecting, then the Cracker Jack lagniappe presented here can be anything of interest to collectors related to Cracker Jack that is not a prize: prize wrappers, ads, commercials, premiums, franchised items, and other go-with collectibles.
