We didn't invent it. Why do you suppose Jesus came up with such a strange ritual?
Your idea, that he was prescribing that we eat a cracker to remember him by, is no less odd. Why eat a cracker? Why should a cracker remind me of Jesus? Why not a steak, or a slice of apple? Why eat anything at all?
Stop second-guessing God, and go with what he gave you.
That's the point...Jesus never came up with the ritual...You guys did...

A couple of reasons...Bread was a main staple back then...
And, they apparently didn't slice their bread...They broke it...Jesus said break this bread, which is my body, which is (will be) broken, for you...The breaking of the bread is key...We are to remember Jesus when we break bread...
And I don't believe Jesus said that wine was His blood...He said drink the cup...He focused on the cup...He focused on drinking more than the contents of the cup...
Breaking the bread and drinking the wine, which represents the spilled blood is the key...Breaking and drinking...
Why don't you guys eat raw hamburger??? Jesus said, 'my flesh is meat, eat it'...
You get eternal life from eating Jesus' flesh??? Once ought to be enough then, eh??? Why's it keep wearing out???
Stop second-guessing God, and go with what he gave you.
Not second guessing at all...Reading the rest of the scripture and seeing how it fits together...
