In days gone by, fund raising took the form of ‘bring and buy’ sales, cake baking, coffee mornings and the like. Autodesk dwg trueview 2020 download. All very well for people with that kind of time on their hands.

Fund raising these days can often take the form of physical challenge like running a certain distance, hurling yourself out of a fully working aircraft, canoeing down rapids, bungee jumping and all kinds of mind boggling activities for the fit and adventurous. These activities include planning, timing and a large overhead to cover costs.

We wanted to raise funds quickly (and safely) at Redhound for a specific animal charity and didn’t want to muck around organising, filling in paperwork and devoting much of our spare time to it and found the solution solution in the form of the Cream Cracker Challenge.

There is nothing new about it but it is a lot of fun requiring nothing more than a packet of crackers and a watch to time people.

The challenge is to consume and swallow a whole cream cracker within 60 seconds without the use of a drink during that minute. Warcraft 3 black cinematics. Participants may not break the cracker up with their hands during this time. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Most people would say they can do it but the reality is a bit different.

The footages will be featured on Jacob’s YouTube channel.

Participants pledge money for each challenge (a few pounds) and buy the cracker for £1. They will have their stake returned if they win along with a signed certificate (it took 5 minutes to run up and print off) or some other form of recognition if they succeed. If they don’t succeed, the money goes directly to charity along with the money for each cracker. However, many people unaware of the difficulty will say they can eat several in a minute……let them try!

The hysteria created by watching someone seriously trying the challenge is fantastic. Techniques get very serious, some will push the whole thing in their mouth and chew furiously (until they grind to a halt within 30 seconds), some will very quickly nibble away at it like a demented rat. There are a variety of methods, all rather hilarious. The only thing you need to watch for is if a participant corpses and showers everyone within 2-3 meters with crumbs in the process. It’s infectious and everyone will want to have a go.

It’s a gift to smart phones, videos and pictures of attempts can circulate the internet or place of work. In the past, I have even seen inter-branch challenges within large organisations. You can do it at work, with a few friends or when you are out and about all for the cost of one or two packets of crackers.

It’s quick and easy to organise, its more entertaining than a bring and buy, it’s less dangerous than a bungie jump and it’s very cheap. One packet can raise around £75 but be aware that time files if you’re doing it on a lunch break so you may have to form several groups or run the event over several days.

Jacob's is a brand name for several lines of biscuits and crackers in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The brand name is owned by the Jacob Fruitfield Food Group, part of Valeo Foods, which produces snacks for the Irish market. In the UK, the brand name is used under license by United Biscuits, part of Pladis.

History[edit]

The originator of the Jacob's brand name was the small biscuit bakery, W & R Jacob, founded in 1851 in Bridge Street, Waterford, Ireland by William Beale Jacob and his brother Robert. It later moved to Bishop Street in Dublin, Ireland, with a factory in Peter's Row. A factory in Aintree, Liverpool was opened in 1914.

Jacob's Bishop Street premises was one of several prominent Dublin buildings occupied by rebels during the Easter Rising of 1916

In 1922 a separate English company was formed, W & R Jacob (L'pool) Ltd.^[1]The two branches separated, with the Dublin branch retaining the W & R Jacob name while the Liverpool branch was renamed Jacob's Bakery Ltd. In the 1970s, W & R Jacob in Dublin merged with Boland's Biscuits to form Irish Biscuits Ltd. and moved to Tallaght, Ireland. The Liverpool factory joined Associated Biscuits in 1960, which was purchased by Nabisco in 1982.^[2]

In 1990, the two companies once again came under common ownership and became Jacob's Biscuit Group when they were acquired by the French company Groupe Danone. In July 2004, Groupe Danone and United Biscuits announced that they had made an agreement for the latter to acquire Jacob's Biscuit Group.^[3][4] With the acquisition of Groupe Danone's biscuit division by Kraft Foods, the production and sales of Jacob's biscuits in Malaysia are done through Kraft Foods Malaysia.However, only days later the Groupe Danone, United Biscuits, and Fruitfield Foods announced that Jacob's Biscuit Group would be split, with United Biscuits acquiring only the UK portion of the Group and Fruitfield Foods acquiring the Irish portion.^[5][6][7]Fruitfield Foods was subsequently renamed the Jacob Fruitfield Food Group and is now part of the Valeo Food Group. Valeo Foods was established in September 2010 through the merger of Batchelors and Origin Foods.^[8]

Since their acquisitions, United Biscuits and Jacob Fruitfield Food Group have sparred in court over the use of the Jacob's brand name.^[9][10]

In 2009, after 156 years of making biscuits in Ireland, Jacob Fruitfield shut its Tallaght plant. 220 jobs were lost while the company retained around 100 staff in a variety of roles.^[11]

Industrial relations[edit]

The well-known activist and trade union organizer Rosie Hackett worked for some years as a messenger for Jacob's. At that time the working conditions in the factory were poor. On 22 August 1911 Hackett helped organize the withdrawal of women's labor in Jacob's factory to support their male colleagues who were already on strike. With the women's help, the men secured better working conditions and a pay rise. Two weeks later, at the age of eighteen, Hackett co-founded the Irish Women Worker's Union (IWWU) with Delia Larkin. During the 1913 Lockout Hackett helped mobilize the Jacob's workers to come out in solidarity with other workers, they in turn were locked out by their own employers. In 1914 her Jacob's employers sacked her over her role in the Lockout.^[12]

Aintree factory[edit]

The Aintree site, which opened in 1914, was Jacob's first English factory, and remains the primary producer of Jacob's products in the UK, including Cream Crackers and Twiglets.^[13] The factory produces over 55,000 tonnes of products each year and, in 2015, received a £10 million investment from United Biscuits to further boost output.
