Default Soda Crackers?

Where I used to live, about 3-4 miles across town, the nearest supermarket
was the same one where I had shopped my entire life, in the largely white
town where I grew up. When I moved out of my family home, I moved just over
the city line, about 2 miles from the family home. The city is much more
diverse than the town where I grew up.

That supermarket had one aisle of Latino products, largely Goya brand. I
always saw something called "Export Soda Crackers", packaged in a metal
canister. They were Keebler brand. I never bought them, though I liked the
canister.

Where I shop now, the neighborhood is much more diverse and there are Latino
products all over the market, things I never saw in the suburbs! Today, I
was shopping, and I saw a metal canister of Nabisco Premium Soda Crackers.
The tin was imprinted in English on one side, Spanish on the other. The
accent color was light teal, which is the same as the kind of Premium
Saltines I buy, that's the color for their saltines with unsalted tops. I
prefer those. Their salted top saltines have a light blue accent color.

I loved the canister! It was $4 for 6 sleeves of SODA CRACKERS.

Which begs the question: What exactly are soda crackers? And how do they
differ from saltines?
