Soda crackers are popular in Hawaii. I buy them at least once a
monthSomehow I connect them to the ocean. Taken on boat trips etc.
Saltines, to me, are thinner and have more salt of course. We also
eat a cracker called Saloon Pilots which I believe are similar to hard
tack which is another cracker that must be connected to the ocean.
Saloon Pilots are so crunchy that you could keep them all day out on
the water and they would still be a very crunchy slightly sweet large
round cracker.
