Zu Zu Ginger Snaps was a brand of round drop cookies originally manufactured in 1901 by the National Biscuit Company (NBC) –later changed to Nabisco – and produced until the early 1980s. The snaps are "a spicy combination of ginger and sugar-cane molasses" [ 1 ] and came in a distinctive yellow box with reddish type.
In 1981, Nabisco merged with Standard Brands, maker of Planters Nuts, Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars, Royal gelatin, Fleischmann's and Blue Bonnet margarines, amongst others. The company was then renamed Nabisco Brands, Inc. [15] At that time, it also acquired the Life Savers brand from the E.R. Squibb Company, makers of Bubble Yum ...

In the U.S., the product is flavored with dehydrated cooked chicken, [2] but international formulations differ. In the United States, the Chicken in a Biskit and Swiss in a Biskit variants were part of a line of crackers known as Flavor Originals that included Better Cheddars, Sociables and Vegetable Thins.
Better Cheddars were first introduced by Nabisco in February 1981, [7] and originally had sourdough culture in its ingredients. They were advertised on television as the "San Francisco-style" snack cracker, and were the first commercials featuring actor/comedian Ron Carey as a cable car operator singing the Better Cheddars theme song and eating the snack.
Later, Nabisco changed the mascot and added a shirt depending on what flavor of the teddy grahams. In 2017, they changed the mascot again to a brown bear with a blue and white striped shirt. [6] Around January 2023, the mascot was changed again to a mascot that resembles the snack cookies themselves.
In 1991, Nabisco held a 100th-anniversary celebration of the cookie in the town of Newton, Massachusetts. [3] Since 2012, the "Fig" has been dropped from the product name (now just "Newtons"). According to Nabisco, one reason this was done is that the cookie had long been available in other flavors, like strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry.
