Comedian Jim Gaffigan recently observed that World War III will pit Wheat Thin eaters against Triscuit eaters. Do you prefer Wheat Thins, or Triscuits? PTF ---

Personally, I prefer Wheat Thins. Death to the Triscuit eaters! ---

Wheat thins are a good warning to people about what can happen when you let someone else pick the snacks. I’ve eaten them at parties or events where there was a cheese and cracker tray. I mean, they’re _OK_, but only in a generic-cracker kind of way. On those rare occasions when I am buying boxed snack crackers, I have never chosen them. ---

The Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits are deeeeeeeeeeeelicious. Generally I buy Wheat Thins, though, because the family likes them with Laughing Cow cheese. ---

I only buy Triscuits, but I’ll eat some Wheat Thins given the opportunity. ---

Prefer Wheat Thins. Will eat Triscuits. I’m not a cracker bigot. ---

I hadn’t heard of them but now that I know what they are I know I wouldn’t eat either of them. I was expecting something breakfasty from a Triscuit. ---

I voted for mostly Wheat Thins, but what I actually buy is the Trader Joe’s knock-off, Wheat Crisps. ---

I find nothing more satisfying than Wheat Thins with cream cheese and jalapeno jelly. However, **MoonMoon** ’s Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits paired with various cheeses _are_ indeed delicious and a praisable god-snack among crackers. ---

You don’t have any good crackers? I voted Wheat Thins, but there’s no way in hell I’m gonna die over them. ---

While you guys are fighting, I’ll be over here having some snacks with actual taste to them, not the taste of cardboard. ---

Wheat Thins have better flavor, especially some of the newer ones, which can be eaten plain. ---

I dislike the texture of Triscuits, and the flavours added to Wheat Thins are always too too sweet. So neither. ---

> [@GreenElf](#): > > But do you like your cardboard thick or thin? :rolleyes: 🙂 Thin enough to ignore. Hey, there was an option for not liking either, so I took it! ---

Given the choice, I always choose Wheat Thins. But Triscuits are OK with cheese on them. Wheat Thins are good enough to stand on their own. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wheat-thins-or-triscuits/726959.md?page=2)
