McKee Foods Corporation, parent company of Little Debbie snack cakes, worked with C-SPAN to develop the Presidential Fact Cards. A spokesperson for McKee Foods says, “We feel that it is important for national brand companies like ourselves to produce offers that encourage an interest in history.”

The cards contain personal facts about the 42 Presidents, such as Gerald Ford working as a ranger in Yellowstone National Park in 1934, as well as a color portrait and a cameo of the First Lady.
