Crackers!

Here is a wonderfully simple concept I’ve been searching for for many years now: A cracker container.

Well, duh!, you might say, they’ve always existed.

Not really. I’ve backpacked nearly every summer for almost 25 years and often bring cheese, salami and crackers along for lunch. My crackers inevitably get smashed when shoved into my back and jostled around for 5-6 miles. I’ve looked for containers before, but nothing has ever been that perfect cylindrical shape that holds the crackers tight enough to keep them from crashing into each other and which also takes up little room.

Enter the Round Cracker Desidry™ Container.

This nifty little plastic wonder, available at the Container Store, perfectly holds all the unbroken Ritz crackers required for a weekend backpack trip. Equally as cool, there is a small concave which holds a desiccant packet to absorb moisture and help keep your crackers extra cracker good.

Mmmm….
