We searched. And we searched. ...And we scored!After a disturbing incident at church last Sunday, Andie and I have been hunting down Pepperidge Farm Goldfish containers.
When Emily sauntered down to our row for her weekly visit she headed straight for Jacque because that is who had the orange plastic goldfish container!
Andie and I couldn't compete! My "Trucks" picture book didn't hold a candle to edible snacks! So, not to be outdone, Andie decided we needed to level the playing field and fetch our own goldfish containers to lure potential snackers (Emily, Natalie, Ryan, etc.) onto our laps!
We found containers on eBay but they were used and we want only the best for our "Little People" friends! But yesterday Andie had a hunch to check at Safeway and we are now the proud owners of 2 containers. And they are sporting multi-colored goldfish! Go Andie!
Apparently Goldfish crackers made their debut in 1962, when Pepperidge Farm founder, Margaret Ruskin, discovered the goldfish cracker on a trip to Switzerland and returned home with the recipe.
In 1988, the Goldfish cracker went into space onboard the Space Shuttle Discovery! And in 1997, Goldfish introduced "Smiley." Now half the Goldfish crackers have small imprints of an eye and a smile. Thus, the advertising slogan "The Snack That Smiles Back! Goldfish!" I'm embarrassed to admit that I eat Goldfish so fast I never noticed that half the fish are plain and half of them smile.
We'll test our containers out this Sunday! Andie can't wait for church! They'd better work; if not, we might have to look into the Goldfish Mobile (see photo) to entice the little people! We could trade in the Tiguan for Smiley!
