Normally I’m not fond of the whole “Let’s mess with a good thing” mentality that prevades modern corporate culture. (C2? What in the name of New Coke is that?) And on the face of it, your average Ritz cracker doesn’t need much improving. The entire purpose of a Ritz is to be a small edible platter for some other snackfood.

They’ve started making two additional flavors of Ritz cracker, now. One is a “wheat Ritz,” which is as unimpressive as it sounds. The other, though… well, I suppose my friend Geoffrey won’t ever know how yummy they are.

Garlic-butter Ritz. They’re dee-lish, I tell you. It’s a little round treat that tastes just like a slice of garlic bread. And if you know me, you know how much I love garlic bread.

Yum. If you like garlic bread, you owe it to yourself to at least give these new Ritz crackers a try.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to pop a breath mint…
