Ritz Crackers are a type of crackers that are produced by Nabisco. Ritz Crackers are circular in shape, salted, and have small scalloping around the edge.
Production of Ritz Crackers began in 1935, the year in which, according to official numbers provided by the company, there were approximately 40 crackers for each American person.
Ritz Crackers also became a hit in Europe. It is said that many men would take chocolate-box shaped boxes of Ritz Crackers to propose to their girlfriends. In addition, passengers could buy Ritz Crackers for 19 cents at the Queen Mary ocean liner.
Since the 1970s, this product can also be bought in circle-shaped tin cans.
Ritz Crackers are also available in small size. They sell at supermarkets in many countries. Also, they are available at the famous Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York.
Saltine and oyster crackers are often used in or served with soup.
Animal crackers are often argued to be a hard cookie and not a real cracker; however, the manner in which animal crackers are made (layered dough) classifies them as crackers.
Graham crackers are also eaten as a cookie, although they were invented for their supposed health benefits.
