Uneeda

Buy it by the box
The flavor lasts

It appears that the gum pack was painted over the Uneeda ad. The green rectangle is actually the cracker box from the Uneeda sign.




"'You need a name,'" and from this sentence came the name "Uneeda." The Uneeda biscuit looked promising, but Green had to make sure it got to customers fresh, so it was the first to use the In-Er Seal package in 1898. Until then, crackers were sold unbranded and packed loosely in barrels. Mothers would give their sons a paper bag and ask them to run to the store and get the bag filled with crackers. National Biscuit Company used this as part of Uneeda Biscuit advertising symbol, which depicts a boy carrying a pack of Uneeda Biscuit in the rain. In 2009 (after over 110 years), Nabisco discontinued the Uneeda biscuit, concerned that the product was not sufficiently profitable.
