When I grew up I loved the Zesta crackers (Keepler brand) but they seem to have disappeared over the past 8 yrs or so. I don't remember when but they just seem to have drifted away... Curiously, I did a google and actually found them on e-bay for about $35 s box of four sleeves... WTF?

I like my saltine's, well, salty and I remember the Zesta's being nice and salty.

All I see at the store now is Nabisco Premium and the "house brand." Premium just doesn't cut it and some of the house brands are a bit better but none of them remind me of the Zesta.

HOWEVER, I think I found my replacement tonight - The Family Dollar Store house brand Salty (170 mg sodium/ 5 crackers), crispy and flaky. I might have to stock up before the FDA comes down on them.

I know... a saltine cracker post? Hey... I'm a simpleton but you have to admit... good crackers and good soup go hand in hand.

I like the house brand from Aldi's, but don't know how much sodium they have. might have to check this out.

Oyster Crackers.......

what kinda soup ?

The Cream of some young Guy ?

Campbells Asian Inspired...

They go great in clam chowder.

I was about to post the same exact thing when I read the original post. Tomato soup and saltines popped into my head immediately!

I did it once.

Popcorn? Sir get back in your doublewide while the civilized world eats it's soup properly.😉

Crackers (oyster) in Chowder is o.k. to me. Any other soup crackers are for kids.

Heh I gotta admit... even though I teased you about it, the next bowl of tomato soup I have which might be tomorrow I'm going to add popcorn. Do you add just a little or do you cover the whole top of the bowl?

My thoughts exactly! Why eat crackers when a really good roll or loaf of bread would suffice? Crackers...I think they give them away at Wendy's for people to put in their "chili"!🐴
