Nabisco says: 5 grams of whole grain per serving!

We say: In our youth, Nabisco’s Wheat Thins had a firm place as the favored cracker. They are slightly sweet, wonderfully salty, and contain the perfect amount of nutty wheat flavor.

Plus, the serving size of 16 crackers ensure that we can eat a couple of handfuls without worrying about waistline ruination. Sure, it is possible to plow through an entire box of Wheat Thins, but that’s not the cracker’s fault.

We at Snack Lounge recommend pairing these with some Cabot Chipotle Cheddar, Danish Havarti with Dill, or a nutty Swiss. And if possible, avoid the boxes slathered with the image of Rachel Ray. You may not think it is a big deal at the grocery store, but just wait until you’re craving some cheese and crackers late and night and you open to cupboard door to this:

RACHEL RAY IS COMING TO GET YOU! Yeah, we know that they’re Triscuits, but having learned a purchasing lesson we’d already tossed the box of Wheat Thins she’d graced.
