crackers
i'm not talking about the honkey holdin' a nigga down, i'm talking about the manufacturers of some of americas favorite snackfoods: nabisco. we've all fallen in love with the buttery goodness of ritz crackers, marveled over the fact that fig newtons are in fact not cookies, but fruited cake, and tried not to bite into a chip while eating chips ahoy in the hopes we could sue the company for false advertisement. nabisco has cashed in on americas love for snack food, their inherent laziness and in doing so have created monstrous, overweight children who scream at the top of their lungs in grocery stores that they want cookies. how did we get to this point? a box of ritz crackers retails for about $3- how much can it really cost to make a friggin box of crackers? i'm guessing that given the slave labor nabisco uses to "bake" the crackers and the low grade ingredients imported from south america or somewhere, about $0.05- am i off here? and you know that only about 2% of the employees of nabisco get to sink their teeth into those profits. that's why i decided to damn the man. i will never again buy a product that will cost me less to make than to buy. i can make my own damn crackers! i'm not sure i ever will, but this post is my small contribution to the betterment of american society. no need to thank me, just send money.
