May I also suggest, even easier than saltines, a nice tall, refreshing glass of water? The perfect meal replacement for those times when you're too busy (or poor) to eat!

Water, like from the toilet?

I'll 1up you. Take half a sleeve of saltines and put them in a big glass. Pour chocolate milk in the glass until it is half full and stir until thick.

Bottoms up.

On an unrelated note, I disgust my wife.

My dad eats saltines with butter. Not peanut butter. Butter butter.

My Grandma taught me to butter the saltines when we have Chili and to scoop a little chili on the butter saltine. I might need to make some chili tonight now haha

I know I sound disgusting, but sometimes I eat saltines and straight up dip them in/scoop up butter like it's a dip. It's good.

I mean, American butter or European?

Europe has their own butter too?

Yea essentially the requirements to call a product 'butter' are stricter in Europe and American butter can have a higher water content / lower fat content than European butter. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/gBfFpSMvstU

You ferment the milk before making butter. Very good. You're basically making it out of yogurt or sour cream.

I used to do this, but between a pair of saltines and with margarine rather than butter.

I never claimed to be healthy.

Man... I have to not buy saltines because I will literally just eat a sleeve plain.

I can just sit and eat a whole box of Triscuits if I'm not stopped, so I never buy Triscuits in any of their wonderfully delicious flavors.

I'll eat a whole damn box before i realize what I've done. One day it's gonna catch up to me and I'm gonna be the next person on my 600lb life

My cats will try and murder me for these, they give no shits about any other crackers or human non-meat food, but I’ve had one literally try and eat one out of my mouth. Makes me question what’s really in them….

A lot of animals are hyper attracted to salt, that could be it. I know a deer will lick your dried piss off a rock for some salt from my days camping.

That's really not good for cats iirc; I think they're super sensitive to salt

Had a cat that dearly loved noodles. Would climb all over you for a strand of spaghetti.

I love a good sleeve of saltines and I’m a grown ass man with a family and house and all that jazz.

My dad used to melt cheese and put salami on these and we would dip it in marinara. He called it poor mans pizza.

Ngl, that sounds delicious. Might try this with some salada biscuits (can't get saltines round here) or something one day.

It honestly works with any type of cracker. I’ve even done it with Melba toast.

When I was in college I would make toast, put sauce and cheese on it, then microwave. We called it poor man's pizza.

I can eat reams of Zesta saltines by themselves. I’ve tried multiple varieties and nothing comes close.

my gramma only ever had zesta, too. but always stored in a (now antique, i'm sure) metal nabisco premium tin.

Oh man I'm not good at thyroid gland plz to halp

mm mm nothing does my body better than sleeve of saltines

Unfortunately, I can’t eat wheat so I would severely regret eating a sleeve of saltines. Non-immunogenic saltines though, sure!

Honestly saltines are probably the only food I can imagine made of wheat where alternatives made of literally anything else will be the same eating experience
