Ritz Crackers is a brand of snack cracker introduced by Nabisco in 1934. Outside the United States, the Ritz Cracker brand is made by a subsidiary of Mondelēz International.[1] They are disc-shaped, lightly salted, and bear seven perforations and a finely scalloped edge. A single serving of the original cracker (about 5) provides 330 kilojoules (79 kilocalories) of food energy, 1 gram of protein, and 4 grams of fat; the whole wheat variety provides 290 kJ (70 kcal) and 2.5 grams of fat.
History[edit]
Jackson, Michigan is home to the Ritz cracker. The Jackson Cracker company, in the early 1900’s, invented a small, round cracker called the Jaxon. When the company was bought out by Nabisco in 1919, corporate executives changed the name of the cracker to the Ritz and made their first addition by adding a cheese filled centre creating the well known Ritz Cracker.Nabisco introduced the Ritz Cracker in 1934.[2] Looking to compete with the similar Hi Ho cracker made by their competitor Sunshine Biscuits, they tasked an employee, Sydney Stern, to create a name and a marketing plan. Stern chose the name 'Ritz', which appealed to individuals enduring the privations of the Great Depression by offering them 'a bite of the good life'. He also designed the blue circle/yellow lettering logo design, inspired by the round label inside his hat.[3] In 2011, Ritz was identified in a YouGov poll as the 'best perceived snack brand' among American consumers.[4]
A cartoon drawing of a box of Ritz Crackers can be seen in Mickey’s Surprise Party (1939), an animated theatrical advertisement/cartoon short produced by Walt Disney Productions for Nabisco.[5]
