Thanks for the info, Mark.
So....they are one and the same then? Saltines are Soda Crackers?

Why are there no anglo brands of "Soda Crackers", only "saltines"?
(Or anglo brands marketed to latino customers, as in the case of Keebler
Export Soda Crackers and the canister of Premium I noticed yesterday?)

Is it just a naming thing?
