Wheat Thins Are The New Saltines

Those readers who grew up in the twentieth century will remember how — when as a kid you you were recovering from being ill or had an upset stomach — your mom would give you some saltine crackers as a first step toward rejoining the family at the dinner table.

In recent years I've turned to Wheat Thins — the original, not one of the dozen variations that festoon grocery store shelves now such that you have to pay very close attention to not purchase Wheat Thins Crunch Stix Fire Roasted Tomato or some such variation — as my go-too restorative cracker.

They're still bland and salty enough for this purpose and they are excellent with butter when you're feeling better.
