"My 18-month-old grandson doesn't have the biggest vocabulary, but like most toddlers, he makes what he wants known pretty clearly. That's especially true when it comes to his favorite foods, which these days is pretty much anything he can stuff into his mouth unassisted. His most practiced phrase is "Eat, eat!" followed by a gesture he learned at daycare - tapping his thumbs and fingers together in a flat "O" to make the American Sign Language sign for "more.""
"But perhaps none is more beloved among the rugrat set than goldfish crackers, which Pepperidge Farm launched in the U.S. in 1962 - surprisingly - as a bar snack for adults. The fish-shaped crackers were invented in 1958 by Swiss manufacturer Oscar J. Kambly as a birthday present for his wife, whose zodiac sign was Pisces. After the smiley face was added in 1997, It didn't take long for the crunchy treats to become a children's favorite."
An 18-month-old communicates food preferences with the phrase "Eat, eat!" and an ASL sign for "more." Children commonly favor cookies, crackers and string cheese, with goldfish crackers being especially popular. Goldfish crackers were invented in 1958 by Swiss manufacturer Oscar J. Kambly as a birthday gift and were launched in the U.S. by Pepperidge Farm in 1962 as a bar snack for adults; a smiley face added in 1997 helped boost their appeal. Campbell's Company now produces about 50 million goldfish daily in Willard, Ohio. Animal-shaped cookies date to at least the 6th or 7th century for Julfest rituals, gained popularity in Victorian England, and were produced commercially by Stauffer's in the 1870s and by Nabisco in 1902.
