Jacks Cookies


Back in mid-1900's a kid could go to any grocery store with a nickel and buy five Jacks cookies. The cookies were big compared to most cookies, tasted great, and would fill a boys tummy just fine. The cookies came in a clear round container (see photo)so you could drool a while before you got started eating. Those cookies just screamed to be eaten. After look'n at them for a few seconds, all your resistance fell on the floor and you found yourself telling the storekeeper........I'll take five of those!!

I remember the one at uncle Tommy Cicardo’s store on Jackson Street Extension in the 60’s.
