Agnetha Faltskog once said that, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, without a sense of ironic futility…” Otto von Bismarck has said, “The main thing is to make history, not to write it.” We certainly can’t pretend to know the past of baking or snack food manufacturing. But with April marking the 100th anniversary of Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery, we cannot help but revisit some of the amazing past in these fascinating markets of ours.
We approached our own anniversary in terms of some of the events that took place over the last 100 years in the snack food and baking worlds; the nature of the publishing industry is such that we cannot track our own history too far back. For many years, our title was Snack Food Manufacturing Packaging Marketing and before that we went by Biscuit & Cracker Baker.
