"Tasting!" Ritz Whole Wheat Crackers

RitzGreedy kids have greedy friends. If I had known that another person’s kid would be invited into my kitchen when I was NOT at home, well….(fill in the blank).

Not only did this greedy ghoul eat way too many of my Ritz Whole Wheat Crackers, she snuck some into my new car, smacked her chompers like a hungry teenage cow, and then left crumbs. It’s obvious that adding whole wheat with 5 grams of whole grain does not offend the youngens, and you should like it too.

Don’t we all know Ritz? You pretty much get the same crack cracker you know and (maybe) love like I do, but with some subtle differences:

1) Smooth, buttery flavor is not present. 2) Appearance and tasting texture is grainy. 3) Seems a tad less salty.

Beware! Whether you deem these differences good or bad, it will NOT prevent you from mindlessly surpassing the 5-cracker serving size.

I’m officially making the switch from Ritz regular, to Ritz Whole Wheat. It’s a no-brainer. ‘Cause I like to eat my food without thinking too hard.

Reactions from the Taste Test Crew

Health-hater Husband: Nice taste, but not as buttery. I prefer the original.

Greedy Kid #2: They taste regular. I can’t tell the difference.

Greedy Baby only has teeth. She can’t talk, but did  major freak out when they were gone.

OMG, I am NOT bringing those in the house! I used to eat a box in a sitting when I was young & fat! I know I could portion BUT I don’t want to give up my healthy breads I like & some other stuff so I best just leave them at the store to save me from my own love of Ritz!!!! They sound as yummy as when I was a kid! :-)

While I am not going to eat either of these, I have to say that I would miss the buttery taste.

Those look yummy! They remind me of the whole wheat wheat things I just got. I’d totally eat them. Especially with peanut butter on top!

I hated Ritz crackers as a child. Why? Because there was that recipe for Mock Apple Pie on the back of the box. In my pea-sized child brain, I associated Mock Apple Pie with Mock Turtle Soup. So Ritz crackers? Equal turtles.
But now I’m all grown up and know that crackers are crackers. These sound good. And I bet there’s no stinkin’ Mock Apple Pie recipe on the box.

That friggin’ teenage cow is scary! Woah!
Hey,
I saw some Ritz crackers covered in chocolate at the store today. Mmmm, I don’t think they were wheat. Maybe you should try them out. ;-)
