We never had Saltines. Ritz, Sociables, Triscuit, Wheat Thins usually.
Pete_maravich@reddit
I actually find this superior to the standard pb&j sandwich
xantub@reddit
My mom used deviled jam on crackers like there was no tomorrow.
justmovingtheground@reddit
That's just Peanut Butter and crackers with one more delicious step. Of course it was, is, and will be a thing. 🤤
TaintCheeselover@reddit
We did pizza sauce and a slice of pepperoni. That and a pickle wrapped in a slice of deli meat
Koi_Sin_Scythe@reddit
Ritz for me

glxym31@reddit
3am, standing in the kitchen in pj’s with nothing but the oven light on, eating over the sink while you dust crumbs off yourself. Oh yes.. this is a thing.
This and toast with butter and honey. Also at 3am.
opservator67@reddit
It was a thing. My regular snack was crackers and Cheez Whiz.
3BlindMice1@reddit
Put a piece of pepperoni on that and you've got a college student pizza bite
mika00004@reddit
Mmmm, I got a jar of Cheez Whiz in the fridge. Time for a snack!
opservator67@reddit
Nice! Honestly, I lived on pb&j, Cheez Whiz, and dill pickles.
mika00004@reddit
It was crackers and spray cheese as a kid. As a teenager, I cultivated my palate and got Cheese Whiz instead. Then learned as an adult they are essentially the same, lol. But I keep it around for cheesesteaks.
CompetitivePirate251@reddit
I was Melba toast and cheez whiz … butter was good on Melba as well.
Practical-Economy839@reddit
Mmmmm garlic Melba toast with butter
tara_diane@reddit
my mom would do just butter and jam. always thought it was gross but i could totally get down with pb&jam
AnitaIvanaMartini@reddit
Was? I had that for lunch yesterday.
Medusaink3@reddit
The frigging BEST.
CaliNativeSpirit69@reddit
Yum
gnamflah@reddit
My family would only do peanut butter or Cheeze Whiz.
vocabulazy@reddit
I still do that but with cheese whiz
hellsbelle51@reddit
My stoner dad used to make these. Passed the family recipe down to me

Salted butter on salted crackers 👍
Common_Moment6006@reddit
This is godlike...my favorite
BadKittyRanch@reddit
We kept the butter on a ceramic dish that was stored in the toaster oven when it was not in use. Soft butter + a sleeve of saltines = instant goodness.
TummyDrums@reddit
Why in the toaster oven? I think most people just leave the butter dish on the counter.
Leaking_Honesty@reddit

Buttered before or after oven?
FrozenCustard4Brkfst@reddit
enough salted soft butter between two crackers that when squeezed made little butter worms

Saltines and butter or margarine was the snack in our house.

CenturioCol@reddit
It was a thing. Peanut butter and jam went on a lot of things. Bread, toast, crackers, celery, etc.
bullfrogftw@reddit
Conversely, a lot of things went on soda crackers, including but not limited to...
cheese, meat, honey, various and sundry spreads, etc...
LOL
nygrl811@reddit
My mom still often eats PB&J on matzo (and we're not Jewish, she just loves matzo)
alwayskared@reddit
I had it because I was poor and matzah was an option with a little margarine & sprinkle of salt or the other option sleep for dinner
No_Equivalent_3834@reddit
There was no matzah in Arizona back then.
Weird-Response-1722@reddit
I love matzoh with hummus.
Optimal-Ad-7074@reddit
I could get along with your mom. not on pbj though. just the matzoh. I love that stuff, with the little brown bubbles....
Mobile_Aioli_6252@reddit
Walking around town with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon and turning the corner and colliding with someone eating a bar of chocolate! At least a once a week experience
Leaking_Honesty@reddit
Honestly, that looked better than the actual candy they were advertising.
Demonae@reddit
You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!
Mobile_Aioli_6252@reddit
No, you got peanut butter on my chocolate

ShitShowcase@reddit
Oh thank Christ.
I thought it was peanut butter & ketchup for a minute and just about died. 😵
Ok_Mood5551@reddit
So good on nilla wafers 😋
wireknot@reddit
Also on that swedish flat bread, wassa bread. Especially the whole wheat one IMO. If it weren't for PB&J I wouldn't have made it to adulthood. 68 and still like it.
incognito--bandito@reddit
No_Equivalent_3834@reddit
It wasn’t for me or my sisters. We like our PB&J on white bread only with the crust cut off. Our grandma used to put it on Roman meal bread which we didn’t like and leave the crust on. Saltine crackers would have been a nightmare.
Mumchkin@reddit
Yep, get home from school and let myself in. Go into the cabinet, grab the crackers and Skippy super chunky, a knife and cup of juice. Afternoon snack in front of the TV before homework.
rwphx2016@reddit
Oh, it was a thing, alright! We would have peanut butter and jam on saltines or jam on saltines.
actual-trevor@reddit
That's still a thing, friend. Except now I can afford better crackers.

Paradoxicorn@reddit
Add and orange slice and some marshmallow fluff and you e got yourself a proper bronco trolley!
kalelopaka@reddit
Not in my house, saltines were for soups, chili, peanut butter, or cheese. My mom would put mayonnaise on them but she was the only one.
iamiavilo@reddit
Isn’t that also called a saltine? Perhaps soda cracker is regional?
Yes, I topped saltines with PB&J, cheese, or just plain butter.
coolcoinsdotcom@reddit (OP)
Interchangeable I think.
justdan76@reddit
Moneybags with his name brand saltines
coolcoinsdotcom@reddit (OP)
First thing I did when I was a kid and got a job at 13 was to start buying brand name stuff!

This was my favorite lunch to pack in middle school.
Weird-Response-1722@reddit
Two great tastes that taste great together!
toolsoftheincomptnt@reddit
On Ritz and sans PB, yeah.
I didn’t like peanut butter until I was like, 14.
luckeegurrrl5683@reddit
My husband still eats those things.
dfjdejulio@reddit
Just the peanut butter for me. I have never liked jelly with my peanut butter. I'm told that as a little kid, I called PB&J "dirty peanut butter".
SuicideOptional@reddit
Naw man, thats a poor people snack right there.
Warper1980@reddit
Vegemite and cheese for me.
Bitter-Ad-6709@reddit
I would do that frequently, but only used jelly by itself. Sometimes making a triple decker or quadruple decker cracker sandwich. SoooOOOooo good!
The berry flavored jelly, with the salt on the cracker, and the light fluffy crunch of the Saltine.... YUMMY.
(Unfortunately around the age of 37 I developed Celiac disease which prohibits me from freely enjoying saltines as much as I used to as a hungry high schooler. There are delicious gluten free salted crackers on the market now, but they are 4-500% more expensive.)
onemorebutfaster_74@reddit
Poor in college I’d put some spaghetti sauce and a bit of shredded cheese on them and chow.
crankymagee@reddit
YES. We had this after school at my grandma's every Wednesday, except we mixed the PB&J together in a bowl and lovingly referred to it as slop. It is still one of my favorite go-to snacks.
Picmover@reddit
It's a thing I haven't seen in 30+ years.
DBDIY4U@reddit
I am in my 40s and it was not just a thing but it still is a thing except you are doing it wrong... You are supposed to use chunky

It’s still a thing. A delicious thing. Saltine crackers fucking rule.

Never on Saltines, always on Ritz. And never jelly, just peanut butter. Saltines were for soups, chilis, and meatloaf.
TwistedMemories@reddit
Ritz crackers and a can of easy cheese all the way for me

My grandma used to make mini-pizzas on this cracker

Vegemite all the way!

I still do a slice of Kraft cheese quartered with bacon bits on saltines for a snack
timesink2000@reddit
Duke’s mayo and a bit of Vidalia onion. Yummy!
Klutzy_Yam_343@reddit
My version of this was cheddar cheese instead of jam. It slaps. Tastes like those orange packaged peanut butter sandwich crackers.
doubletwist@reddit
I hate peanut butter but I used to have Saltines with grape jelly all the time.
DeaddyRuxpin@reddit
My preference is on ritz crackers. I still eat that all the time.
Casual_Observer999@reddit
Butter works, too.
As a kid,, I remember the old fridges whose "butter keeper" kept the butter rock-hard, which pulverized the cracker.
Not my go-to, but still a treat.
Conscious-Big707@reddit
But on a Ritz!

1/8" thick cheddar cheese on saltines, 17 sec in the microwaverator... add time as needed.

Definitely a thing and reminds me of the standard 'sick' fare I was served whenever staying home from elementary school w cold or flu....hot tea and buttered saltiness crackers!
NoOil535@reddit

Servile-PastaLover@reddit
In my house, spray can cheese whiz was the preferred topping for saltines.
One can didn't last very long, so we resorted to alternate toppings.

Rojodi@reddit
I was in Tampa FL at 17, in the Bay Area for an indoor soccer "festival". I went to the Piggly Wiggly to pick up stuff for that, best snack for an athlete back in 1982. The best thing was the manager telling me to "borrow" a knife from the hotel restaurant LOL

Just cheese. Fold it into the four squares it wanted to be and place on cracker. Make a triple if one so desires.

Applesauce on a Ritz.
Cheese or peanut butter on a saltine.

I love peanut butter and jelly on almost anything. I love doing this on Triscuits. PB&J on graham crackers is ridiculous.
FootFunkToeJam@reddit
Wow, now I’m really craving peanut butter and crackers
Zen-Ism99@reddit
Still a thing. I prefer Ritz, though…
Proper-Ad7997@reddit
Holy shit. Bringing it back! How did I forget all about this?
Professoroldandachy@reddit
Peanut butter but never thought of jelly. I will have to try.
DavidCavalleri@reddit
Still is a thing.

I would mix the PB&J in a bowl and then spread it on the Saltines.

My sister and I ate saltines with pickles slices and mustard. In college there were time saltines and taco bell mild sauce was my meal

Definitely a thing. Sometimes just butter and jam.

Dad would put peanut butter and butter on Ritz crackers and we would eat them while watching Saturday morning cartoons.

I remember peanut butter with butter. My folks would make my sibs and I peanut butter and butter sandwiches for lunch sometimes.

I did butter and jam/jelly, not peanut butter. But ya! Ate it a lot!
Sensitive-Daikon-442@reddit
Totally a thing! Loves them just butter too!

1000%! But my mom never bought name brand if generic was available. The saltines I remember were in sheets of 4 that you had to break apart. And I feel like each one had one burnt edge.
Of course now that I'm a grown ass woman it's natural peanut butter and strawberry all-fruit spread on multi-grain crackers! 🤣
Amazing_Shoulder_275@reddit
Definitely a thing!
Burlington-bloke@reddit
Ewwww, never jam with peanut butter.
IndependentChip43@reddit
Yep. A thing

Crackers with peanut butter and jelly or with spreadable cheese was a constant snack in my house growing up. We always had soda crackers in the kitchen.

Try guava paste and cheese. It'll change your life.

Clearly you either are or grew up around Latinos :)
