We opened a sealed sleeve of crackers to have with some tomato soup. We immediately had to spit them out as they tasted like dry crumbled Chemicals! We couldn't get the taste out of our mouths. Fortunately we did not get sick. Just ruined our lunch. What has happened to this "staple" product. I can't recall in my 71 years that our kitchen didn't have Saltines in the pantry. Time to find another brand. Sad, indeed.
