The classic Barnum’s Animal Cracker Box has officially gotten a redesign.
Instead of animals caged in a boxcar on their way to a circus, the animals are now roaming free side-by-side in a field. The change came in thanks to PETA , who got in touch with Nabisco a few years ago and said they should change their boxes and release the animals. Nabisco loved the idea so much that they agreed. The change is a result of evolution, says the company that makes the snack.
Barnum’s Animal Crackers brand has been around for more than 115 years and throughout those 115 years the animals have always been caged.
