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?

Saltines are a brand of soda cracker, and one example
of a popular type of soda cracker. Hmmph! :-)

NO! "Saltines" are a specific genre (type) of soda cracker[period]

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.

Well, the little round ones are called 'oyster crackers.' :-)

Nabisco discontinued Pilot Crackers (rectangular) in 1996, but brought
them back after a campaign started by people on a Maine island who
traditionally used them in cooking, particularly clam chowder.

There is a brand I buy in a chinese Grocery store call Sky Flakes made in the
Philippines By M.Y San company. They come in a Tin Can then wrapped in plastic,
in 4's, They are great. The way Crackers use to taste

My mother uses them to make a kind of mango cake or pie.
