Just say no to crappy crackers
IMBHO heralded the Get Back to Human chocolate bar a few weeks ago, and because we loved this chocolate bar, we wanted to check out this brand’s crackers.
Irony strikes… the statement on these crackers says, “Just say no to crappy crackers”, but these HU crackers are crappy. So it’s like saying, “Just say no to these crackers”. Okay. We can help HU with that. It’s an IMBHO-no!
To be fair, we tried three varieties of these crackers: Sea Salt, Pizza and Everything. We ordered the three-pack from Amazon and paid $21.99, so they weren’t cheap.
All three boxes of these crackers tasted stale, several of our taste testers mentioned, yet all three boxes had a “Best Enjoyed By” date of 5/31/2020.
The pizza cracker was a favorite, because the pizza flavoring covered the tragic taste of the bare cracker, and nearly covered the stale taste.
These crackers were super thin, which typically isn’t a problem, but their thin nature didn’t play into a crispy cracker. They had more of a dull crunch than a crispy crunch. These crackers also couldn’t hold up to any dips. We tried them with hummus, and there was no successful dipping without crackers breaking.
The redeeming qualities of these crackers are the myriad of “No” claims, including no gluten, refined starches, grains, dairy, soy, maltodextrin, or lecithins. They also have the Gluten-Free certification seal, along with Non-GMO and Kosher certifications.
We wanted to like these crackers, because we wanted to celebrate another win for this company, which we profiled in our Chocolate bar review. Sadly, it was a swing and a miss. . .
“Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville” — Get Back to Human has struck out.
