Answer 1

In a Biskit

In a Biskit is a line of snack crackers produced by Nabisco. Originally released in the US as Chicken in a Biscuit in early 1964, the line has since grown to be available internationally with a variety of flavours. In the U.S., the product is flavoured with dehydrated cooked chicken, but international formulations differ because of varied manufacturing. While Australian Kraft Chicken in a Biskit (manufactured in China) lists chicken meat among the ingredients, an independent chemistry assay detected "no protein from any meat species" in the product.

In Australia, Nabisco also produces vegemite, bacon, and nacho flavoured "biskits", as well as more traditional flavours such as barbecue, crispy potato, and salt and vinegar. In a Biskit crackers are packaged in a 175–200 gram box or a "Multi-pack" containing ten bags of 25 grams each. Multi-packs are used in several Nabisco products, and were introduced as part of the In a Biskit line in August 1999. All the 'In a Biskit' range were discontinued in Spring 2015 in Australia.

In the United States, the Chicken in a Biskit and Swiss in a Biskit variants are currently available, as part of a line of crackers known as Flavor Originals that includes Better Cheddars, Sociables, and Vegetable Thins. Chicken in a Biskit is available in original and BBQ flavors.

Pepperidge Farm

Pepperidge Farm Incorporated

Pepperidge Farm is an American commercial bakery founded in 1937 by Margaret Rudkin, who named the brand after her family's property in Fairfield, Connecticut, which in turn was named for the pepperidge tree, Nyssa sylvatica. A subsidiary of the Campbell Soup Company, it is based in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Pepperidge Farm products include Milano and Nantucket cookies, Goldfish crackers, and varieties of bread. It distributes Tim Tams in the US, manufactured by Arnott's Biscuits, another Campbell's subsidiary in Australia, and Pirouettes, made in Indonesia.

Margaret Rudkin began baking bread in 1937 for her youngest son Mark who had asthma and was allergic to most commercially processed foods. She home-baked bread that her allergic son could eat. Her son's doctor recommended it to his other patients and encouraged her to bake more bread. She approached Frederick Marschall, owner of Marschall's grocery stores based in Stamford, Connecticut, to see if he would be willing to sell her "Pepperidge Farm" bread. After tasting a piece, he took all the loaves she had brought with her and placed an order for more. Margaret's husband Henry, a Wall Street broker, began taking loaves of bread with him to New York to be sold in specialty stores. She soon moved the growing business out of her kitchen and into her garage, then into a factory in 1940. Rationing during World War II forced her to cut back production due to ingredient shortage. In 1947, Margaret opened a modern commercial bakery in Norwalk, Connecticut.

On a trip to Europe in the 1950s, Rudkin discovered fancy chocolate cookies that she believed would be popular in the United States. She bought the rights to produce and sell them, and the Distinctive Cookies line was born. Under her management, Pepperidge Farm continued to expand into other products, including frozen pastry items and, later, the Goldfish snack cracker from Switzerland. In 1961, she sold the business to the Campbell Soup Company and became the first woman to serve on the board. She drew on her knowledge and experience to write The Margaret Rudkin Pepperidge Farm Cookbook in 1963, which was the first cookbook ever to make The New York Times Best Seller list.

Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers are a brand of snack cracker introduced by Nabisco in 1934. Outside the United States, the Ritz Cracker brand is made by a subsidiary of Mondelēz International. They are circular in shape, salted lightly on one side, and have a small edge. A single serving (about 5 crackers) contains 79 calories, 1 gram of protein and 4 grams of fat, or 70 calories and 2.5 grams of fat for the whole-wheat variety.

Ritz Crackers varieties are: Original Ritz, Low Sodium Ritz, Reduced Fat Ritz, Whole Wheat Ritz, Roasted Vegetable Ritz, Bacon Ritz, Garlic Butter Ritz, Honey Butter Ritz, Hint of Salt Ritz, and Ritz Fresh Stacks. Decades-old internal memos showed Nabisco executives mulling referring to the snacks simply as "Ritz" in the United States market due to sensitivity about the racial baggage associated with the word "cracker". Nabisco never publicly acknowledged considering the change.

Ritz Crackers are available in the United Kingdom in three varieties. Original and Cheese flavor are sold in 200-g boxes, and Ritz Cheese Sandwich (a cheesy filling sandwiched between two Ritz Crackers) is available in 125-g roll packs and 33-g snack packs.

Ritz Crackers are also available as the dippers for Dairylea Dunkers and Philadelphia Snack.

Ritz Crackers are also available as part of a confectionery product made by Cadbury with the Crackers forming a sandwich either side of Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Ry-Krisp

RyKrisp

RyKrisp is a brand of rye crisp bread introduced in 1899.[1]. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the RyKrisp plant was purchased by Ralston Purina in 1926.[2]. In 1994, the Ralston portion of Ralston Purina was spun off into a new company called Ralcorp Holdings, including the RyKrisp operations. Ralcorp was acquired by ConAgra Foods in 2013.

In January 2015 ConAgra Foods announced that the factory that produces RyKrisp would be shuttered and the product would be discontinued due to declining demand. RyKrisp Inc. bought the brand in April 2015 with plans to revitalize it once a new manufacturing partner is found. A larger-scale commercialization test is currently planned for October 2015 with commercial production expected some time after that.

Ryvita

Ryvita is a rye-based crispbread which until 2009 was manufactured by The Ryvita Company. The company was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1930 and is today a subsidiary of Associated British Foods. Ryvita are holders of a royal warrant granted by Queen Elizabeth II as 'Manufacturers of Crispbreads'.

In 1925, the Ryvita company was established, with a bakery set up in Birmingham two years later, producing one of the first packaged goods in the bakery field. After the Second World War, Poole on the South Coast of England was selected as a desirable site for production due to its nearby port.

In 1949, Garfield Weston bought the Ryvita Company, and began a close personal involvement with the parent company, Associated British Foods (ABF). A new mill was opened by Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein in 1968. The original bakery expanded in 1971 and again in 1974, making the largest single building span in Europe at the time. Ryvita became part of the Jordans & Ryvita brand under Associated British Foods following a merger with Jordans in early 2009.

SAO (biscuit)

SAO

SAO biscuits are a savoury cracker biscuit that was launched in Australia in 1906 by Arnott's. The term SAO was trade marked in 1904.

The origin of the name "SAO" is unclear. A widely held belief is that the name is an acronym for "Salvation Army Officer", and was named for Arthur, one of the Arnott brothers, who was indeed an officer in the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army Australia somewhat cautiously mentions this on its website, calling it "Arguably Fact" and saying "...it is understood they named it in honour of their brother Arthur Arnott, a Salvation Army Officer. In the 1993 book The Story of Arnott's Famous Biscuits, Ross Arnott states that Sao was the name of a sailing boat which his grandfather [Arnott's founder William Arnott] saw on Lake Macquarie, of which he said "That would make a good name for a biscuit."

SAOs were also one of the first biscuits to be heavily advertised in magazines and newspapers in the early part of the 1900s. In the 1960s, the famous SAO song was launched. SAOs light texture is achieved by rolling the dough into thin sheets, then carefully layering it to give distinctive bubbles and crumbs.

SAOs are often eaten as a light snack, topped with butter/margarine and Vegemite, or other ingredients.

Traditionally, Arnott's delivery vans have had number plates in the range SA 0nn in recognition of the SAO brand.

Triscuit

Triscuit is a snack cracker, made by Nabisco, which takes the form of square baked whole wheat wafers. It was invented in 1900, a patent was granted in 1902, and the Shredded Wheat Company in Niagara Falls, New York began production the next year.

Nabisco began producing Triscuit in 1903 in Niagara Falls, New York. The manufacturer boasted the wafers had been "Baked by Electricity".

A wafer measured 2-1/4 inches by 4 inches and remained that size for nearly twenty-one years. At that point, the ovens were altered and the cracker size changed to a 2-inch by 2-inch square.

Triscuit is made from wheat which is first cooked in water until it reaches about fifty percent moisture content and is then tempered, which is intended to allow the moisture to diffuse evenly into the grain. The grain is then formed into shredded wheat strands by using slotted rollers. Webs are formed from the strands and then several webs are stacked together. The still moist stack of strands is crimped at regular intervals to produce individual crackers. The moisture content is reduced to five percent by oven baking.

In 1935, producers began spraying the crackers with oil and adding salt. The flavor remained constant until 1984, when additional choices were offered and the crackers were made crispier.

The packaging was changed in 2008, 2011, and again in 2013.

In 2013 a new brown rice Triscuit made of whole grain brown rice and wheat was introduced.

Betty Buckley and Shirley Jones have appeared in Triscuit commercials in the mid-1970s to 1980.
