The counting rhyme "Ene mene miste, es rappelt in der Kiste ..." still knows every big and small child in Germany today.
In the song Rappelkistenkids from the 1998 album of the same name, the hip-hop band Anarchist Academy talks about the positive influence of the program on their childhood development.
In almost every episode, no individual cast or crew member is credited. The only credits are "Entwickelt und hergestellt vom Team der Rappelkiste", which means "Developped and produced by Rappelkiste's team".
