Oops. This triggered one of those wikipedia cascades.
First, you are probably referring to American Muenster
cheese:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muenster_cheese
Not the French Munster cheese:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munster_cheese
Although, you could be referring to Sweet
Muenster cheese (a processed cheese product):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Muenster_cheese
And that page links to Triscuits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triscuit
which from 1903 to 1924 were 2 and 1/4
by 4 inches in size. In 1924, they were
resized to the present 2 by 2 inch size.
Ah, now everybody can be their own
