How would compare these two crackers? Same Taste, Prefer Captain’s, or Prefer Ritz?
I always think of the Andy Griffith commercials for Ritz.
Nabisco started makingRitz Crackers in 1939. Captain’s Wafers are made by Lance. Keebler makes a copy cat called Keebler Club. A lot of restaurants serve Captain’s Wafters in packs of two with their salads.
I prefer Triscuits or Vinta.
I find that Captain’s Wafers and Ritz have a very similar buttery flavor. We buy Ritz because they are a lot cheaper and taste pretty much the same.
Our local sandwich shop serves a meal deal with half a sub and salad with Captain’s Wafers. We eat all the crackers they serve with the salad.
hmm, I forgot the poll option for like Ritz better. Just post that if you want.
Ritz, as I’ve never heard of Captain’s Wafers, to my knowledge.
Same here.
I just discovered Captain’s. I like them.
Never heard of 'em, but will search. Ritz are mighty yummy.
Alas, if they’re very similar, and Ritz are cheaper, cheap wins.
Captain’s wafers were a key component of our diet when my scout troop went on a two-week canoeing trip. They’re wholesome and supply nutrients as needed, and everything tastes good enough when you’re a teenage boy who’s spent all day in heavy physical activity, but we all agreed that they were about the real-world equivalent of cram, the dwarves’ bread from The Hobbit. We usually ate them with canned chicken or tuna, and referred to our lunches as “cram and cat food”.
Ritz, of course, are legitimately tasty.
If The Stores don’t carry Captain’s Wafers then they should have Keebler Club. Which I consider identical in size, appearance and taste.
Lance does selling avending pack of Captain’s Wafers. It’s a square cracker and doesn’t seem as good as the rectangular one restaurants include with salads.
Yeah, Keebler Clubs I’m familiar with. They don’t taste nearly as buttery to me as Ritz crackers. I like both, but they’re different.
I like em both.
Never heard of them before this thread.
I tried to find them on the Lance website, but I could only find examples of them filled with cheese. I assume they come plain without filling, like the Keebler Club crackers?
I’d never heard of Captain’s Wafers before reading this thread. However, one day I went to the supermarket intending to buy a box of Ritz and mistakenly picked up Town House instead. Got home and said “Town House? What the heck?” Not thrilled with the idea of taking them back, I decided to try one…and loved it, much better than Ritz.
My wife and I now buy Town House all the time. I haven’t had a Ritz in years.
This thread needs background music to bump up the numbers for the one, true cracker.
That’s odd. We get a 300 count box of the standard Captain’s Wafers at Sams Club. This is what small restaurants buy to serve with their salads.
Amazon sells the 500 count big box.
Apparently Lance doesn’t retail these anymore. They seem to be focusing on the cracker sandwich snacks. Didn’t realize that until now.
I like both, but I don’t see how anyone could think they’re even remotely similar. Different shapes, different colors, different textures and completely different tastes.
Waverly Wafers, anyone? Those were great, but I don’t know where to find 'em.
Wow, it’s a bland food throwdown.
