\nIt’s been windy here lately, from the north. Today I went outside and walked straight into a Teddy Grahams wrapper that had blown down the driveway. I picked it up, and it sent my thoughts spiralling. “What a great post idea,” I thought.\n<\/p>\n
\nI recall Teddy Grahams first being advertised; they weren’t around when I was in elementary school. I don’t know what they taste like. However, there were none left in the wrapper that blew into my feet today, so I expect they’re pretty tasty.<\/p>\n
\nTeddy Grahams came out, apparently, in 1988. I didn’t understand the demographic they were appealing to, or how society had changed to create it. By then, parents didn’t want their kids to go hungry. Rather, why not have a between-meals snack, a fun one, even, just to take the bite out of hunger? (In my day, they liked you to be hungry for meal time.)<\/p>\n
\nAlthough their package says “Cookies” on it, perhaps parents see Teddy Grahams as a snack rather than a cookie. They are less than 25 percent sugar, which might further support that idea. In that way, Teddy Grahams may occupy a niche not well populated: sweeter than a cracker, but not so much as a cookie. As such, they appeal to kids and parents. This is just me talking out loud; I don’t know if it’s true.<\/p>\n
\nTo me, Teddy Grahams symbolize the care-free, spontaneous way kids are encouraged to be nowadays. I have to say it looks good on them.\n<\/p>\n\n
\nTeddy Grahams have been around for 35 years. I’d call that a proven track record. In a strange way, when I picked up that wrapper today, it was like being told “Hello” from an old friend I’d never met. Perhaps now, we have.<\/p>\n
