Why did they have to go all PC and take all the freaking salt off the Zesta crackers?

Jif and Zesta crackers will never be the same again. How am I supposed to introduce my daughter to the love of scooping peanut butter out of the jar and making a craker sandwich while watching college football and hurling insults at the Sooners?

Everything's better when it sits on a Ritz.

Man, I love unsalted crackers. You can actually taste whatever you put on them.

Take it out of the tortilla chips too!

[Dex]

Take it out of the tortilla chips too!

Blasphemy!

[1369]

I disagree, the salt (which used to be on the Zesta in copius amounts) offers an interesting dichotomy to the creamy Jif.

Without the salt, it has the same consistency of placing Jif on wet cardboard.

[Marklar MM]

Tortilla chips without salt...are not tortilla chips. More like stale bread.

[NASHville]

WTF is dichotomy?

[1369]

WTF is dichotomy?

A noun.

[NASHville]

A noun.

That just made it harder.

[ChumpDumper]

It's ok you've been trained to like salt more than actual food, but I get more than enough without having it smother my chips and crackers too.

(Yes, I am one of those people who will scrape the salt off each french fry if I decide it's too much.)

[NASHville]

Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions: “the dichotomy of the one and the many” (Louis Auchincloss).

So you could've just said "separates"?

Thank you sweetie. :spin

[Trainwreck2100]

Watch for transfats.

[angel_luv]

Thank you sweetie. :spin


You are very welcome. = )

I was going to paraphrase the meaning for you but I didn't get it well enough to. :lol

Nah, I would have gone with "contrast".

[ChumpDumper]

Watch for transfats.That's the thing -- I'm not a particularly healthy eater. It started out as an experiment to try and cut down on a bit of salt for my average winter soup-and-crackers lunch (have you seen how much sodium is in a can of soup? Damn.), but most things started tasting better without so much salt. I can't remember the last time I added salt to anything.

[Dex]

I likes my sodium. :spin

Premium Saltines by Nabisco still have salt on them. yummy yum yum.

I liek cream cheese on my saltines.

[MannyIsGod]

I know what you mean, Chump. I'm not a fan of a lot of salt on things either.

[2Blonde]

You can buy crackers with or without salt on them. What's the big deal???? They have been selling them that way for years.

The ones they now sell with salt are the same they sold a few years ago that were "reduced salt".

Just not the same.

Just curious, who was he trained by?

[ChumpDumper]

Just curious, who was he trained by?Self-trained, usually from early diet. Just like alot of habits. I have enough bad ones of my own -- soda is probably the worst.

Well if it was from an early enough diet wouldn't it be the parent's fault?

[ChumpDumper]

Sure, or the school, whatever.

It's not a huge personal failing to be sure.

[Clandestino]
