How It's Made: Sandwich Crackers

[@theodoreburns1330]

I wish there were a 'How it's made' for these machines themselves. I'd love to see the engineering process for these kinds of things.

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I'd also like to know how long it took to come up with just the right settings and speed to get the perfect set up. The trial and error must be maddening.

[@egaag]

The best I can offer is searching for "how mad production machines are made", but that's about it. I also know of the channel 'my mechanics'. That and their second channel show restorations of old/broken items. The precision work and video editing in their videos is satisfying af.

You pretty much are if you buy at a place like Walmart. These crackers get bought out regularly with school beginning. The turn around time from shelf to end of use date is only 6 months. We buy a large box of 20 just about every other week. The ones we have this week have a January 2023 ending date. Something that has a shorter 2 months date is snack cakes. We had a pack of 20 that had only one cracker and peanut butter in the packs and they sent us 2 coupons for $3.99 if I remember correctly. We buy a lot of their other crackers, too. We have no children at home any more my husband is the Toast Chee fan. I like the cream cheese and chives Captain's Wafer and Nekot fan. Our dog Adam likes them all.

[@Foxxie0kun]

Man, this is a neat insight into how some of these nostalgic and tasty snacks are made. All through my childhood and even into adulthood I always liked the cheese-filled versions of these. The peanut butter filled ones aren't BAD, I just don't like them as much as the ones with the cheese filling. Seeing them made from dough to packaging was a neat little distraction for the day.

You betcha Duke. That’s a centuries old pastry technique called “docking.” You see it most often with certain pies and quiches, where docking the dough keeps the bottom crust flat and stable instead of bubbling up with pressure and deforming or bursting. 🤠
