If you know anything about the foods I consume, you know I love cheese. If you know I love cheese, you know the cheese flavored treat I love the most are... Cheez Its. Wow. They are yummy. One time my sophomore year, my parents came up for family day at church. They surprised me with all sorts of goodies. Milk, bread, meat, veggies and a 3 pound box of Cheez Its. That was probably in my top 5 favorite gifts (among them being the replacement Kermit pin from my mother-in-law) of all time. Anyways, Josh and I saw a commercial a while back for these new cheese crackers that claimed to be better than the king of all cheese crackers. Kraft Mac & Cheese crackers. Seriously? Kraft may be a big name, but they think they can taste yummier than the original cheesy goodness? I didn't think so. Before our California trip (which reminds me that I still need to blog about it...) we were at Smith's picking out treats for the car (yes, Josh actually let me eat in his car). Josh wanted to try the new "better than Cheez It" crackers, and I only agreed to get them if we got a family sized box of the ones I knew and loved. Anyways, I said I'd write a review because of how poorly the Mac & Cheese cracker performed. So here you go ladies and gentlemen, here are the reasons why you shouldn't waste your money on these.
1. You know the fake cheese powder pack that gives mac and cheese its flavor? Well that is dumped all over these crackers. When you pick one up in leaves yucky, orange residue on our fingers. If you like the taste of the powder, just grab a Cheez It and rub some on there.
2. They are small and weirdly shaped. I don't know why this bugs me, but it does.
3. The box is way smaller.
4. They're more expensive.
5. They smell strange. This may be the powder again, but regardless what it is, the car smelled gross until we put them away.
6. The Mac and Cheese crackers don't have the tastable (I know that isn't a word...) salt on them.
7. The box is still in our cupboard because I (although Josh claims he likes them apparently) don't want to touch them.
So there are my reasons to stay away from these crackers.

Always choose these...
I laughed out loud when I read your post! That is such a Brittany post! HAHA! I love you hun
