Cracker Warriors Unite!
« on: January 07, 2007, 05:00:27 PM »
I'm pretty tired of a life without Triscuits, Cheezits and Stoned Wheat Thins.

I've sent off complaints/requests/general whinges to the companies involved.

They've sent me some very nice automatic responses.

What should we do?

Alright, no cracker warriors have shown up...

Perhaps I should work on the manifesto.

First draft:

There are certain products that should be available to all people, no matter the country.  These products should not have to be borne by various individuals (friends, family, semi-known folk from the internet) across vast distances and through unfriendly customs agencies when an obvious market exists for them.  This is known as 'pure laziness' on the part of the manufacturer. Foreign Buyers Clubs do not mitigate the lazy factor.  Heck, we know you ship other stuff over to sell.

So, WHY NO CHEEZITS?  Huh?  Huh?  And what about the Triscuits?  And the Stoned Wheat Thins?  (There are a few other things, like Spike seasoning, but we'll stick to crackers. For now.)

I'd like to add something on the lines of 'it's our inalienable right as Americans' to eat any crackers we want... but I can't muster the necessary tone.  Maybe because I'm from Canada.

Help is needed on the manifesto, members are needed.  The cracker situation is dire, and I'm hungry.  So many cheeses available, so few crackers...

Ummm I saw Ritz crackers today at Asda?  Or do those not count?  I'm not a huge fan of Cheez-its...although I do like Triscuits.  I also used to love the ones called Chick'n biscuits??  They don't seem good to me now but about 15 years ago...wow I loved them!

I love Triscuits, and buy them online when i need a fix.
At £4-odd, it helps me to not eat so many at one sitting... got to ration them a bit!

I'll sign up! I miss all of those. Not to mention a nice buttery cracker like waverly or town crackers.

Yum!!!!!

Getta, I think you mean Chicken in a Biscuit or something like that. I used to love those, but am almost certain I didn't see them this past visit!

Madeira...you had me in tears.  I had to read it to my husband.  The funniest thing I've heard in a long time:

Ditto - I was howling so loudly that DF just had to know what was so funny as well!

I say, where is the Goldfish cracker love?  If I was stranded on a desert island with only one type of cracker, it would be that one.  But £11 a box?!

Goldfish crackers are hereby added to the list.  Those things are OK.  Wheat thins also not available here?

What these people here do with cheese I cannot comprehend.

I don't think you can get Stoned Wheat Thins in the US.  Is that right?  I know Cheezits are almost impossible to find in Canuckistan...

Next move for Cracker Warriors:  mail them all, asking why they don't sell them here.  (I'm also asking about Japan.)  Just google the crackers you like, then send them a message.

Eventually, they'll respond.  Do not let the automated responses tire you!

To motivate us, I suggest that everyone provide cracker recipes.

Recipe 1:  Stoned Wheat Thins with pickled herring.  That's it.  Or just with a slice of Havarti or aged cheddar.

Recipe 2:  Triscuits with smoked salmon cream cheese and capers. Or toasted with a slice of apple and cheddar on top.

Recipe 3:  Cheezits mixed with Shreddies, peanuts, chow mein noodles and a few other things, sauteed a bit with soy sauce.  Party mix!


Keep going, cracker warriors!
