Classic Review: Nabisco - Better Cheddars

Better Cheddars are part of Nabisco's Flavor Originals line of crackers. Along with Nabisco's Cheese Nips, Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish, Sunshine's Cheez-Its, Nabisco's Better Cheddars are the only cheese-flavored crackers I know of. I don't pretend to know why Nabisco saw fit to make two separate cheese-flavored cracker brands but a 7-ounce box carries a normal price of $3.59 though I got this particular box at two for $1.

Tastewise, they're mostly similar to Cheese Nips and Cheez-Its but are, lighter, and crisper. The difference in texture is probably what most sets them apart from the other cheese crackers. I wouldn't say they have a distinct Cheddar flavor but they do have some cheese flavor.
They're baked but end up leaving some oil on your fingers. I don't eat them very often but they're nice now and again.
