The Great Triscuit Breakdown

It’s strange the things that get me going. Besides coffee.

A lot of times in the evening I like to cut slices of cheese, usually Irish or Basque, and put them on crackers. But not just any cracker; I like Triscuits with a hint of salt, made by Nabisco, part of Kraft Foods and probably some place in Bain Capital’s food chain.

But anywhere from a third to a half of any box is useless for my purposes because the crackers are so broken up that they couldn't even hold the shavings of cheese, let alone a slice. Just look at the photo on the box versus the slivers on my plate.

I suppose I could spread something on the slivers, but the effort I’d exert versus the return would not be worth it.

I sent a complaint via the Internet. That was an experience. They wanted all kinds of information from the box, some of which I could not find. They even wanted to know what I paid for the box and how many boxes were affected.

This all points to refund, but I don’t want a refund. I want my boxes of Triscuits to come with the crackers intact. No more slivers. No more breakage.

I’ll add a postscript to this when I find out.
