Easiest: Town House Original. The tall oval packs, only four to a box, are dead simple. Pull up the flap, hold the other part, they peel right open.

Hardest: Premium Saltines Fresh Packs which cannot, I repeat, cannot, be opened by hand. The fresh packs are short stacks that are so convenient to use and have just the right amount of crackers so they don’t go stale.

Ritz crackers are easy to open.

Too easy. 😉

I like that buttery goodness too much.
