I am not sure whether you have got the right product. Force was or is cornflakes or wheatflakes eaten in a bowl with milk or sugar.
Force also used to known for it's cut out rag doll of a character called "Sunny Jim". You could also obtain cutlery with an ear of wheat emblem on the handle.
I cannot see logically how this becomes a cracker in Dutch. Anyway ISTR that Force was made well before the 1930's.
Probably, as you say that it is still available in your local supermarket, you best route may be to buy a packet and write to the makers for information as to whether it was ever available in Holland. I would be interested to know if the makers have a website.
