        Hard tack is absolutely not crackers, lol. You will chip a tooth trying to bite into it. Best to soak in your coffee first to soften up.

          Best improvised weapon available. Nobody expects a hard tack to the head

      Crackers used to be shipped in barrels.

      Naturally they got really nasty really fast. It wasn’t until they invented sealed packaging we more or less have now that they became tolerable. It was kinda a bad thing to name a restaurant after.

        Cracker barrel went out the window with the Mail Pouch cut plug chawin’ by the stove.

        Changed the approach of the traveling’ salesman. Made it pretty hard…
