A NEW CRACKER JACK IDEA!

(WRGB-Albany) The Cracker Jack prize is going digital after almost 125 years.

In a release, the Frito-Lay company says it’s changing the prize at the bottom 
with a digital code that is redeemable for one of four baseball themed mobile
apps.

The four available baseball-themed experiences are Dot Dash, Dance Cam, 
Get Carded, and Baseball Star where users can interact with their iOS or 
Android device, according to the company.

"The Cracker Jack Prize Inside has been as much a part of the nostalgia
and love for the brand as the unforgettable combination of caramel-coated
popcorn and peanuts," said Haston Lewis, senior director of marketing,
Frito-Lay. "The new Prize Inside allows families to enjoy their favorite
baseball moments through a new one-of-a-kind mobile experience,
leveraging digital technology to bring the iconic Prize Inside to life."

The iconic sailor is also getting a modern revamp, set to make its debut
soon.

Don’t worry! Bingo, the sidekick pup, is still on the package.

FIRST WASHATERIA ON THIS DAY IN 1934

Washateria is an alternate name for Laundromat, especially in Texas where the
first of it’s kind opened in Fort Worth by Noah Brannen. Though steam-powered
laundry machines were invented in the 19th century, their cost put them out of
reach of many. Brennan and others began renting short-term use of their
machines. Today,most Laundromats and washaterias in the US are fully
automated, coin-operated and generally unmanned, with some operating
24 hours a day.
