Ritz Crackers (1960s)

Step back into the 1960s American home, where the blue box of Ritz Crackers was a pantry staple. These ubiquitous, buttery, flaky crackers were the go-to foundation for countless snacks and appetizers, embodying simple elegance for everyday moments and special occasions alike. Their distinctive round shape, scalloped edges, and pattern of holes were instantly recognizable. Whether piled high with cheese and olives at a cocktail party, served simply with soup, or enjoyed straight from the box as an afternoon treat, Ritz played a quiet but constant role in family life and social gatherings across the country, a taste of comforting familiarity in a rapidly changing world.
