We seldom analyze the aesthetics of a delicious snack when we're devouring them.

Have you ever wondered why Ritz Crackers—the savory disc-like snack cracker—have scalloped edges?


Probably not, as most of us are more concerned with shoving them into our hungry mouths.

But this interesting bit of trivia may blow your mind and possibly change the way you eat the popular Nabisco treat forever.

Ritz Crackers' official TikTok page recently posted a video with an impressive revelation showing why the edges of the popular snack are serrated.

In the clip—captioned "the more you know"—a voice says:

"What people think the edges on Ritz Crackers are for… 'Wow... So pretty... Aesthetic... Beautiful scallops'."

The voice continues:

"What they're actually for."

Then, someone holding the cracker in the video demonstrates the handy use of the cracker's feature by rolling the edge of it on a slice of cheese to cut it into strips for sandwiching.

Who knew? Ritz Crackers doubles as a makeshift cheese cutter.

In two days, the post racked up 1.1 million views and 177,000 likes.

People shared their various responses to the video, beginning with a jokester, who wrote:

"Ritz, I'm no advertisement specialist, but this post hurt my feelings, and I'm sure it had the same impact on others. It might be good to delete this."

Ritz responded with this salty comment:

"It's going to be okay."

One TikToker called out the clumsy way in which the cracker barely sliced through the cheese in the demonstration.

Ted Cruz Details How Trump Reacted After Elon Musk Tweeted That He's In The Epstein Files Amid Their Public Fallout—And Yiiikes

The relationship between tech investor Elon Musk and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump might be best described as complicated. Musk and Trump teamed up for the 2024 election over their shared White nationalism.

In the immediate aftermath of the inauguration, Musk held a major role in the second Trump administration, heading up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that slashed appropriated funds' budget line items from agencies and departments across the federal government—something only Congress has authority to do—often based on a label of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) assigned by AI output and carried out by untrained, unqualified "tech bros."

'Practical Magic' Star Evan Rachel Wood Reveals Nobody From Original Film Reached Out To Her Before Her Role Was Re-Cast For Sequel

When Practical Magic 2 was announced last year, fans were ready to head back to the Owens family home—but apparently, not everyone from the original cast got the invitation.

The sequel picks up 25 years after the 1998 cult classic, with Joey King and Maisie Williams taking over as Kylie and Antonia Owens, the daughters of Sandra Bullock’s Sally.
