These crackers are great tasting. I recently ordered a case of tweleve to use at home. However, Amazon sent me a case of twelve which expire in one month. I buy things from Amazon to stock up. I don't think a month is enough time to eat twelve boxes of crackers. Amazon needs to rotate their products instead of selling items that are almost expired.I used to love these crackers, but they have recently reformulated them. Now they're awful... like a Wheat Thin knockoff, but not even as good as Wheat Thins. Why do they mess with something that works?? I complained to the company, and was told, "As you might imagine, we conduct extensive consumer tests to determine consumer acceptance before introducing a food into the national market. Reformulated products are of special concern to us, so we use panels of regular product users across the country to ensure acceptability. Tests on this reformulated product showed that most consumers preferred the new product to the old. However, we realize that taste preferences do differ and can certainly understand your feelings."
Yeah, I am sure that Coca-Cola conducted extensive consumer tests of New Coke, too.
Look, you might like this cracker. But if you liked the previous formulation, don't expect anything at all similar. And if you don't like it, please complain to the company. Maybe they'll bring out a 7-grain "Classic" cracker. :-)These crackers are simple in comparison to my favorite, the Honey Sesame variety. The 7 grains may overpower subtle toppings, but they work well with stronger cheeses, olives, and other toppings that hold their own. I usually eat these crackers plain as a snack along with something to drink, though they also work well for hors d'ouvres.Be sure to have something to drink along with these slightly sweet, particularly crunchy crackers. The texture is rich with the variety of several grains, and the flavor is a delightful combination of the grains and a touch of honey. These are my favorite TLC crackers, but I switch out with the other varieties regularly.Ever try the goldfish crackers? They taste as much like the box as they do cheese. The TLC Country Cheddar crackers are far superior. They taste of cheddar and the texture balances smooth with crunchy, and savor for a few seconds to soften and get the cheddar flavor. It's not too sharp or too mild just right. My favorite TLC cracker is Honey Sesame, but I eat the other varieties regularly to keep things interesting.
