Trader Joe's new Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers are no ordinary animal crackers. The "cheery" part of the name comes from the fact that each cracker is covered in a bright yellow yogurt coating that's got an authentic citrus aroma and [zesty lemony zing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zesty-lemon-eclairs), as well as a coating of crunchy rainbow-colored nonpareils. Additionally, the crackers also get their name from the fact that the actual biscuits inside are lightly sweetened and boast a satisfying crunch when bitten into. Best of all, the new Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers come in single-serve packets, so it's easy to pop them in your child's lunch box or throw them in a bag for snacking on the go.
