What is not to like....Ritz crackers are the best snacking cracker around, regardless of how you choose to top them or not, and then combined into a (lets face it, these are all kind of a new spin on the old Chex Mix standard) a wonderful snack medley...and yes, I do like the idea of portion control packages to limit the damage I can do to my diet with snacking, but...lets face it, crunchy snacks are like an avalanche picking up speed as it rolls downhill...I don't find the 100 calorie portion very satisfying. It is almost a tease. I found myself wanting to eat multiple packs which kind of defeats the purpose of portion control. So I can't fault the quality of the product in any way. Crispy, crunchy, with different textures and flavor variety along with the smooth buttery type of taste that we have all come to expect from Ritz crackers...And it would make a good lunch box stuffer for kids or adults. The individual portion packaging makes it a more costly snack than I usually buy. I prefer to buy a larger package and break it down into smaller portions for cost effectiveness-and of course, if I am on a roll, perhaps the larger package doesn't last as long, but based upon the prices in my local store, the multipack of 100 calorie portions costs about as much as a 12-16 oz bag of other snack mixes...I definitely feel that I get more for my money buying the larger package. Makes me wish it did come in the larger family size bag or box. Some feel it is too salty, but I really think that it is no more so than any other snack mix or chip out there. And of course it makes you thirsty....that's why they put this stuff in bowls for free on the bar, because you buy more drinks...Tastes great, and the biggest danger is liking it too much and therefore eating too much. Bearing that in mind...I can enthusiastically recommend that everyone proceed with caution to sample the portion controlled packets (only one at a time please).
