• 0:05
  Speaker 2: in the background. And we have a controversy involving Ritz crackers.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: We think. I haven't had Ritz in a long time.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: But what do you got on putting on the Ritz?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's it?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: That's all I got. Oh, you're such a tease. I know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I know. I thought there was I could play the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: whole song later.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. So I thought it was just me, right? Because,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: you know, I was sick recently. I had a virus
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: and had a lot of chicken soup with Ritz crackers,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: which is a comfort food.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And the Price is Right was on.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: That was back in the day right there.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: That was back in the day. And I was kind
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: of like, what is with the Ritz crackers? They don't
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: taste the same. They seem like they're smaller. They don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: hold up. Like you take it out of the package
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: and it's broken. I mean, you know. Just trying to
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: get over a virus here. Can I at least have
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: some decent Ritz crackers? Thought it was just me. It's
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: a whole social media thing. So now I feel like, uh-huh.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You're not alone.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I am not alone, Cubby. People are complaining about Ritz
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: crackers online, kind of asking each other, what happened?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Did they change makers or something?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: It looks like they may have changed. I'm Googling now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: That they may have changed the recipe this year. They're
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: trying to make them healthier. Ugh. I get it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, it comes back to health.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I know. Why do we have to be healthy? So
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe they changed the kind of oil that
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: they make it in, right? Because that's supposed to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: better for us. And maybe there's less salt. I'm not sure.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It's like.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Can they make two versions? Can they make the regular
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Ritz and then the Ritz Light?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And they're smaller. To me, they're smaller. That's usually a
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: money saver. Yes. Like, can we have... like nostalgic Ritz crackers,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: which we call them vintage old school Ritz.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And then for those of you who want to be healthy,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: people are complaining of shrink flation.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They should have fat Ritz and skinny Ritz.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yes. Well, but also this is, they're saying as of 22, Oh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: as of 2024, they do acknowledge that they had to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: cut them by 30% because of pricing. So they're 30% smaller.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So the crackers are smaller.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: They are. So that's not my imagination either. But the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: ingredients have shifted a little bit.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Well, chime in on this at 44363 if you're part
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of the whole Ritz controversy here.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: What happened to Ritz? Have you noticed the difference?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: See, I haven't had them in so long. So now
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of want to buy them just to see
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if they are different.
• 2:30
