One would think that a food item like Ritz Crackers, which has been around for almost nine decades, would be pretty straightforward and everyone would know everything there is to know about it by now. One would be mistaken.
The salty goodness hits the spot in so many different situations. Plus, it is the perfect size for snacking with its seven perforations and a scalloped edge that fit almost perfectly in your mouth.
Speaking of that finely scalloped edge, did you know that it isn’t just there for looks? It actually was put on the cracker for a very specific purpose.
Because it does. And of course, this information was revealed where everything educational comes from these days: on TikTok.
In a TikTok video that’s now been viewed almost 2 million times, Ritz explains that the scalloped edges on their iconic crackers were put there to be used as a tool for cutting cheese.
“What people think the edges on RITZ Crackers are for: Wow, so pretty, aesthetic, beautiful scallops,” Ritz captioned the video on its official TikTok account.
Then, after a quick deomnstration of how the scalloped edges are used to cut a slice of cheese, viewers were left dumbstruck.
“RITZ you are making me question my entire existence,” wrote one viewer.
“I refuse to believe I went an entire 24 years of my life without knowing this,” commented another.
The most common responses, however, were, “HUH?” and “What?”

the edges of ritz crackers are serrated because life for the LGBTQWERTY community is cutting and rough without equal rights. when their/them human dignity is returned to them/their, the crackers will be smoothed again.
“ In a TikTok video that’s now been viewed almost 2 million times, ”
You can literally feel your IQ points drain away when you watch Tik Tok
Someone in marketing was eating cheese and playing with their food and found this out.
I haven’t had a Ritz cracker since the day my beagle died. He and I shared a sleeve the morning he jumped the fence and was hit by a car. 💔😪
Which is why I spend time elsewhere.
I need no serrated edge when I cut the cheese!/tee hee
*sniff* snuffle..
And I had thought than the edges were milled to keep people from filing them off like coins.
And, doctors used to prescribe dropping some Ritz crackers in your toilet bowl before defecating.
Sounds like a job for a saltine.
from the little I have seen of,or actually I have o ly read titles, tiktok looks like a freak show for morons?
Seems a little gross to me. Who wants to walk up to a wedge of cheese at a buffet and see it all covered with cracker crumbs?
TikTok is for people who find 140 characters of text on Twitter too much to read.
I can cut cheese all by myself, thank you very much.
Yep, I have quite the collection of knives to choose from, all with easy access. There's something to be said about using the right tool for the job.
As if you can’t break or tear a thin slice of cheese. I’m not buying they were designed to cut cheese. The serrations make it easer to grip the crackers edge. That’s all. Nice myth though. Somebody is having one on us.
Oh, it’s a thin slice of holey cheese. Probably also room temperature soft. Bet they broke a few crackers before getting this shot right. Notice the cheese was first torn in half so they wouldn’t have to “cut” but just an inch.
Ridges are racist. I am going to tart playing liberal and complain about how they represent slavery and white supremacy and try to get them eliminated.
