Is Ritz the king of crackers, or is the saltine king?

[Randomguy]

Also to be considered, is the saltine on the way out?   We all grew up with them pretty much as the default cracker you'd get if you asked for some crackers, but there weren't as many competitors as there are now.

RO wants nothing to do with Saltines, but likes Ritz crackers, so Ritz's marketing towards kids is working better.

My wife recently bought some Club crackers in a green box that are very good but they probably were expensive AND high cal. I like whole wheat saltines.

Oh crap!  Uncle google says Keebler. That is never good.

Where is the poll ?

Ritz

I always have a short sleeve in my lunch bag 

[Ralphie ★]

Ritz taste buttery. 

[maddmaxx ★]

Triscit.

[Longjohn ★]

Ritz has a high fat content, not healthy fat either. Saltines have too much sodium. I bought a box of unsalted saltines, they taste like they need salt.

Saltines are the cracker of choice for peanut butter crackers.

Ritz are best if for some reason you have to eat them with nothing on them (such as when you're recovering from the flu) and are the second best choice for cheddar slices.

Keebler toasted onion crackers are best for slices of cheese.

Triscuits look like the crackers you used to be able to buy to feed the animals at the Catskill Game Farm.

For peanuts, mixing unsalted and salted works well.

Were I to be forced to live in a world with only one cracker, it would have to be Carr's Table Water Crackers with cracked black pepper.

How do these compare to the real saltines without whole wheat?

They taste less bland.  Try them.

I am kinda scared.  What if I don't like them and will only think of real saltines as the right kind?

Eat them anyway, they won’t kill you. It’s just a box of crackers.

Ritz.  No doubt.  Especially with peanut butter!

pro tip for fall: peanut butter on spiced wafers.  Your new favorite indulgence.  Goes well with Stouts and Porters.

I guarantee that you will prefer them over regular saltines.  Trust me.   

[maddmaxx ★]

Better, no crackers at all

That sounds dangerous, you are a madman!

Empty calories.  Excess salt.  Eat a carrot.

Recently had some Ritz and was blown away by how bad they were   I used to eat those by the sleeve - by themselves, with cheese, with PB and/or jelly, with a pickle, etc. - but now they just seems like they becomes a goopy paste in my mouth. Not sure how or if that recipe changed, but Ritz are off the menu nowadays.

I had some today that RO made me get, I am digging them.  Yeah, they disintegrate in your pie hole, but they are supposed to.  I wonder if anyone has ever made their mock apple pie?

That said, tomato soup season is coming up, and nothing goes into tomato soup like Premium Saltines (or grilled cheese).

I just eat unsalted peanuts and chew slowly when I get the peanut butter urge............except as a good pre ride meal on a bagel.

Even the regular saltines have far less salt than they used to.

So much so, they should probably just call them 'tines'.

[Parsnip Totin Jack ★]

Stoned wheat thins. No CBD but they taste good. I think they’re from CAnada. Anyway, sardines on any cracker elevate them to a new level of refinement.

I made the mock apple pie on a whim. Then wondered why it was invented. Apples are not hard to get.

Just do the right thing and buy Nabisco Premium Original Saltine Crackers.  No need to mess with perfection, if talking crackers for soup.  Ritz are okay at best.

I ordered some of the original, too, just in case of what happened with the whole wheat version.  Whole wheat versions of things typically aren't as good as the processed-as-hell versions, with bread being the only exception that comes to mind immediately.

Ritz is a damn fine cracker, though.  I would watch what you say about them, they tend to be kind of ornery, and are not big respecters of the law.

 If you are some sort of delusional whacko that is allergic to gluten, or some other made up disorder, then you buy shit that tastes bad and tell yourself that you are doing the right thing.  Otherwise, you eated saltine crackers and use real butter and drink whole milk and dd real cream to your coffee like any red blooded American does.  Oh, and you drive a V-8.
