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:

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

And baked by electricity!

I'd have never thought that Triscuits had been around for over a hundred
years.
