I like both. But you're right, the original Ritz is more salty on the top.
I like salt (and have no health problems related to alleged salt intake) so
it doesn't bother me. But they do make a lower-salt Ritz which is still
nice. Town House crackers are definitely more buttery tasting. I'm pretty
sure it's not butter they're using to make them taste like that
