Poor people really are stupid, aren't they? zero flavor crackers is what poors are eating to sate their hunger? Fuckin why?

Also why would the saltine company make the holes bigger to save 0.00000000001grams of flour and speed up the baking time by a femtosecond? Are they really projecting their profits to the penny 10 years from now based on this?

there seems to be a large effort from every mainstream food pusher to get away with as much shrinkflation and price hikes they can from the general consumer during this decade of economic turmoil.

When poor people are eating Saltines its either because the crackers are the only thing left in their pantry they'r emixing with pickle juice, peanutbutter, literally anything in the fridge

or becuase they've mad e astew/soup

Oyster crackers also have gotten significantly worse in the last half decade

yeah the premiums are shitty now. I used to eat them by the sleeve but they changed something recently, they don't have that yummy yeasty taste and they're kinda stale. I'm guessing they use cheap sneed oils and they use a chemical rising agent instead of yeast. gotta cut cost on a fucking saltine cracker...

So stop buying them, dumbass. You're discovering what an "inferior good" is in economics.

God bless the illegals and their Saladitas brand saltines. I bought a box in deep managers special discount a few years ago, a big motherfucker, too, and we loved them. Seriously, the best saltines I've had in years. Almost as good as the now defunct Philly style oyster cracker. I can't recommend Saladitas enough to a fellow saltine enjoyer.

the increased hole size decreases bake time, saving energy and resources. it's actually a better product because of this, and there would be negligible difference in product weight

a little trivia for you: lots of the fda food regulation exemptions pushed during covid never got repealed, so companies can do whatever the fuck they want as if they were still functioning under supply shortages/lock downs.

Yeah? who cares? If they cut quality and sizes I simply stop buying it. If they go out of business I stop giving any shits. If they continue because retards buy it, then its not my problem.

I usually buy round crackers like picrel. And I've noticed they tend to break and crumble a lot more now, it's hard to get them out of the sleeve without many of them breaking. I've noticed this across many brands in multiple countries!
In fact I saw another /ck/ anon complaining about this recently so I'm not tripping. Something wicked this way comes

nah, they're a bitch to make. You gotta start by making a bread dough. The only difference is oil content. Saltines have quite a bit of fats in them, helps make them flakey and crispy. Once it's all mixed up and smooth, you let it ferment a while to give all that yummy yeasty flavor time to develop. Then you roll the dough, cut it, poke it and then you gotta bake it low and slow until nice and crispy.

Yeah. Nabisco and Kelloggs have ruined their saltines. Loved zestas for years and now they always taste stale. Premiums aren't any better.
