    What’s wrong with doing this? I do it semi often. My wife thinks it’s weird but I’ve never regretted it.

    I melt cheese on them sometimes.

        I like scuttlebutt, rum, salt cod, and I can eat a whole lemon on its own.

        But I don’t like the heat or back breaking labour, so I don’t think I’d be a good fit.

          Doubt they did either, but it was that or starve.

            I think with the British navy they hanged you for refusing service, but I haven’t decided if that’s preferable to starving.

      I should go back to doing this instead of eating Cheetos. Sleeve of crackers and a serving spoon of peanut butter. So good.

        I’m feeling vindicated by this thread. I do this too and my wife comments on it, so I mostly do it when she’s not home.

            “Baby, I know we’ve been together for 12 years, but some random person on the internet said we should break up because I eat crackers, so it’s over.”

              I read it as a helpful cue to shore up the small discordant point in the relationship, with saltine goodness and a little brainstorming on ways to improve the crackerage. Couples who cracker together, something something.

            She calls me a weirdo but she still brings me crackers and peanut butter or she makes me “cracker stew” (which is soup fully saturated with crackers) when I’m sick.

            We’re good, but next time she bugs me for it I’ll repeat the message

    I put a little butter on them sometimes and it’s delicious but everyone thinks I’m crazy until they try it. I wish I had some saltines right now.

      This suggestion is relevant to my interests, and I have all the ingredients on hand. Thank you for your service. 🫡

      I survived for something like three years on butter and saltines. It’s the best if you use unsalted butter, and put rock salt on top, but let’s be real here–we’re just scraping butter straight off the stick with each saltine and eating it like we’re in the trenches of the Great War and we don’t know when the Krauts are gonna attack us so we gotta eat fast

        I’ve done this. It never crossed my mind other people didn’t. You have some butter nearby and you’re eating crackers? You put the butter on the crackers.

        It’s like finding a thread where people are going “Try butting butter on the toast. I know it sounds weird [no?] but you gotta try it.” and others “Oh yeah my grandma used to do that”

      Isn’t that what saltines are for?

      Edit: Wait, I read that as peanut butter. Butter is…not gross but not what I do.

        Peanut butter is good too. That’s for when I feel like making marginally better choices, though (because then I can say, “Well it has protein?”)

        What kind of pretzel? I feel like the sticks are way too tiny and even the knotted ones would be kind of a pain in the ass. I could get behind a big soft pretzel with butter though. That would be worth the effort.

    maybe with a brick of cheese

    nothing helps my self esteem like a sleeve of saltines and a brick of cheese

        I will be trying this these holidays. I’d have never thought of mixing the two.

        In exchange for the idea, I recommend sweetening whipped cream with a dash of maple syrup, the maple flavour comes out nicely with the airy texture. But do not use this for pumpkin pie or another sweet treat as it’s too rich.

    Butter

    Peanut butter

    Cheese

    Spray cheese

    Cream cheese

    Cream cheese with a clove of garlic

    Honey

    Help me think of more good ways to enjoy saltines
