This bag was date stamped in 1992 from ConAgra and distributed by Berger and Company of LaSalle, CO 80645. If you have the time, look up as much info as you can find on the history of Jack Rabbit from Saginaw, MI. I found it interesting and sad to see historic symbols moving from their birthplace. Since I'm a 1 finger typist I'll post the Hot Dog Bean Soup when I'm sure this is posted as expected. Enjoy.
