You don't know what you got 'til it's gone... *sob*

For years, Ry Krisp has been my go-to "healthy diet" cracker. I don't know if it's really all that good for you, but with the cardboard texture and the rye-flour bite, it SEEMS like it must be. Over the years I got really fond of Ry Krisp. Some people learn to hate their favorite diet foods, but I have the opposite reaction. Anything that I eat when I'm really hungry tastes so good! A few pieces of Ry Krisp really perks up a salad, and it goes great with cottage cheese. Or any kind of cheese, actually.

I had no idea that Ry Krisp was manufactured in Minneapolis. And even if I had known that, I would have assumed that it had long ago been folded into Nabisco or something and had factories in North Carolina or Uruguay. But no - apparently it's never been anything but a Minneapolis specialty. And now IT'S GONE!!!

Wah! I gave up on dieting long ago, but, like one of the people in the article, I take Ry-Krisp camping. It's vegan and extremely durable and filling. And I like the rye flavor. Also, though it is certainly dry and crunchy, I never actually worried that I might break a tooth on it, which is more than I can say about some other crispbreads. While it is not a tooth-breaker, Wasa, which I sometimes got when I couldn't find Ry-Krisp, just isn't nearly as good.

That stuff's pretty good if you put enough butter on it.

Well, that's true of pretty much anything.

I'll miss it. There was a point in my life where Ry-Krisp with butter or cream cheese were the perfect thing to eat while reading on a Sunday morning.

Never believed in it as a diet food, though.

I'm sorry to hear you've lost a favorite snack. I wonder if there might be some residual stores of it available somewhere, a black market? ebay?

The main thing that Ry-Krisp had going for it was that it was, you know, crisp. Stale Ry-Krisp? Not appealing.

It's hard for me to imagine Ry-Krisps going stale. They're already so dry...

Stupid ConAgra.
