You are right, but I view Ritz as a classic such as saltines, Vermont
common biscuits, Uneeda biscuits, oyster crackers and the like.
They have been part of our culture and life for generations and have
a distinct place in appetizers and snacking. I can't imagine my
mother's egg salad topped with a caper-stuffed rolled anchovy on
anything but a Ritz cracker. They are unique and really don't
deserve to be tossed on the waste-pile of humanity, even though
there are some better crackers on the market. Of course there are,
but don't let the Ritz become forgotten. Please, cory! and Steve,
add a few real Ritz to the layout.
