Premium Saltines - What has happened to them? A change in the original recipe? Is a new manufacturer processing the crackers? The crackers are not the same - AT ALL - and in various ways. But, my major complaint is that you can't keep a single cracker in one piece to save your life. Crumbles, crumbles, crumbles.
In any given package/sleeve, many crackers are broken before you even open the package. Trying to put something on them, butter, any kind a spread, is fruitless. One of my very favorite crackers - ever - is now a sad, terrible thing.
So well established and liked brand shouldn't go to pot like this. Too, too bad.
