Went shopping and all the saltines boxes are ALl round!!!! When did that happen? I loved the square. Ha ha the box is still square, the contents are now round. Sorry, wording sounded strange.

Good one.
I usually buy the store brand square crackers.

(50,130 posts)I swear, the cracker aisle has become a "no-blink" zone. The wheat thins etc. come in smaller and smaller boxes.
I also noticed that cans of chili are now 14 oz.

(111,339 posts)The square ones filled the box, edge to edge and corner to corner.
The round ones leave dead space that used to be filled by saltine crackers.
