    I challenge anyone to eat 6 jatz crackers in 60 seconds. If you can achieve this, then you are carb tolerant. :wink:

    Note: I have yet to meet someone who can do it .

    It's worse than I thought

    I don't normally comment on threads like this but I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that it recommends doing this test with a piece of RAW PEELED POTATO if you can't eat gluten. :'(:'(:'(

    I've never seen a salt-less cracker. Even the ones that say no salt tops, have the same amount of salt in them.

    I have a Dr Oz intolerance. Why oh why do people still listen to him after he's been called out so many times for spewing pseudoscience?

    Not just called out he was hauled to congress to explain himself wasn't he.

    Which, not to turn this political, was a complete waste of time for your Congress.

    Taste change?

    I don't understand...why would the 'taste change'?

    That's my question, what does taste change mean?

    What is a jatz cracker.

    I like those little wine tasting crackers. Should get some.

    Probably a typo of Ritz. And I could definitely eat 6 Ritz crackers in 60 seconds. I will take that challenge!

    I just googled: http://www.arnotts.com.au/products/jatz/

    Can't tell how big they are, but they don't appear very big. I don't believe 6 of these in 60 seconds would present any sort of problem.

    eta: I just noticed in the picture the half lime, so these are about the same size as the diameter of a lime. Yeah, I'm not seeing a problem with this. Unless she meant that they're so good, you'll have trouble stopping at six.

    OTC wine tasting crackers (just looked them up): 11 crackers, 130 cal, 30 mg sodium, 4 g sugar. Wheat, water, sugar, palm oil, and salt (but it can't be that much).

    I'm avoiding palm oil, though, blah. I love these, they are super bland, which is weirdly what I like in a cracker.

    Oh, well, back to no crackers for me.

    Yes, presumably it has something to do with breaking down starch into sugar. Which everyone can do, barring really strange and problematic health problems, and has nothing to do with "carb tolerance".

    But honestly, I've lost interest in this absurd woo. What I'm more interested in is the existence of crackers in flavours like 'bacon' or 'chicken in a biscuit'.

    This intrigues me because I understand the US crisp (chip) scene is fairly hidebound to basic seasonings (salt, vinegar, pepper, ranch) and eschews the more exotic crisp flavours that are normal in the UK (bacon, roast beef, worcestershire sauce, fish and chips).

    And yet your crackers are apparently a festival of fake dinner tastes that rival Willy Wonka. What gives?

    I can't explain the whole cracker situation (it's odd to me too and I'm an American), but Lays does make special edition chips with more unusual flavors -- wasabi ginger, biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffle, Reuben, everything bagel, etc.

    And Doritos does some unusual chips, including a truly bizarre "Dorito Loco Taco"-flavored chip. That's a chip that supposedly tastes like a Taco Bell taco with a Dorito shell. So it's like Doritos doubled?
