It was when I created it way back when... I changed it to "start class" today. --Guitarist Nick 22:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Addictive Qualities? ==

Can the addictive qualities be explained, or is this due to simply the cheese/sugar causing natural addicitive blah blahs? GUNNAR LIKES CHEEZ ITS 24.76.141.128 05:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I believe the addictive qualities stem from them being so darn tasty.--Daveswagon 15:12, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Agreed.-- Albert Mond 10:58, 14 June 2008

Location

Is the Sunshine plant in Kansas City, KS the only place they are made? --Gbleem 04:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I know some are made in Elmhurst, IL. At least it says so on the box.

Cheese Nips more popular?

Are Cheese Nips more popular than Cheez-Its? Can this be backed up with evidence?

My personal preference is Cheez-Its ;) US 71 04:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I had to do some research for a speech for high school. I am doing a tribute to Cheez Its. Cheez Its are baked using a combination of palm oil and soybean oil. This has recently caused some controversies with environmental groups. The demand for palm oil has increased two fold over the past decade. This has led to deforestation in Malasia and Indonesia (the top producers for palm oil). Farmers are burning down forest to create areas to produce palm oil. This fact makes Indonesia the 3rd highest producers of greenhouse gases in the world. So groups are rallying major companies such as Kellogg to change the type of oil the use to produce their products. Some even went as far as sneaking into stores and placing stickers on products such as Cheeze Its and Oreos saying "Caution. Product destroys forests". (or something along those lines)

Cheese Nips are the poor man's Cheez-Its. By the way, the Hot and Spicy Cheez-Its are neither hot nor spicy, but they do taste good. Defenseman Emeritus 19:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

yah man the nips can suck a duck — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.215.76.130 (talk) 15:08, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Motto thing

I think someone should put something in the article about their motto thing "Get Your Own Box." It's on the back of the box in bold letters. Ootmc 21:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

also

The picture of a Cheez-It on the article says that it is "near actual size," but it is much bigger than the real Cheez-It brand snack crackers.

Depends on your monitor, as the caption so clearly points out. On mine it's almost exact. Glassbreaker5791 19:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

HA

I'm pretty sure almost everybody on this was stoned when they commented. Except me. But I am eating them right now. --Grahamdubya 04:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

lol, im eating some right now, but the box is almost empty :(. Can i have some of yours :D72.185.44.3 23:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

who would be looking at this page if they weren't eating cheez its? theyd have a really screwed up and random mind. but i guess it happens.. Glassbreaker5791 19:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The whole reason why I came to this wiki page was because I was eating cheez its and wanted to know when they were made the first time, But it doesn't say it on the page. :( Yes, The crackers taste good!

WHO INVENTED???

WHO INVENTED THE CHEEZ-IT???

who invented the cheez-it? as i would like to shake that man's hand. he is a brilliant person and deserves some sort of prize or title. and whoever said that cheese nips are more popular is not from this planet.

19:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC) BIG franky

Sounds like the kind of guy who takes down four mini-bags at the Company picnic.

19:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC) Mr. Scott Rogers

So you like cheez its. So do I! :) However, This isn't the best place to discuss what you like about cheez its, Maybe you should find a forum. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.31.66.100 (talk) 18:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

When were Cheez its first made?

It only says in the article when the name was patenetd, When were cheez it crackers first made?

Changes in Cheez-its?

Does anyone remember when Cheez-its used to be different? I believe it was before the company was bought out. The box used to be different, and if I remember correctly the crackers were saltier. Also, what happened to all the double Cheez-its? It used to be that there were at least a few crackers that hadn't been separated in every box.

I get plenty of unseperated ones. Hmmm...

ummm, they are cheesy and salty and so good. I love to eat them by the box =D

Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

I'm assuming they took out the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil to have no trans fat. --Gbleem 05:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Quality standard change?

Does anyone have any verifyable info on this? When I was a kid (I am 31 now) Cheez-its seemed crisper and less greasy. For a while when I began to buy cheez-its as an adult I thought that every box I was getting was stale. Then someone pointed out Reduced Fat cheez-its, which, IMHO, taste a lot more like they did when I was a kid. For a long time I was not willing to buy Cheez-Its b/c they tasted stale. Now I am happy again with the Reduced Fat ones. Anyone else have similar opinions or know any facts regarding production standards at the factories over the years? Duckingham (talk) 15:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I've been buying Cheez-its since the early '90s, and I too have noticed subtle changes over the years. I've noticed this with other snacks, too. I think it's natural for a company to alter a product's ingredients over time, based on availability and, for example, the recent awareness about trans fats. I don't think companies reveal things like this to the public. (recipes are usually kept secret) --70.119.159.132 (talk) 03:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I have noticed that each box can be different. One day I'll by a box and they will be a little greasy, which is how I like them. Other times I buy a box and they are a bit dry. I find the "whole grain" ones are consistantly a little on the greasy side. Love em! Can't believe I am commenting on cheez-its! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.135.163 (talk) 23:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Kellog company?

Limited Distribution

I wonder if there is any information about distribution. They are not available in Canada for some reason.Bill (talk) 17:24, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

i love cheez its and have heavily researched the logo design of a cheez it. Though logos for many confectionery goods change over the years, the Cheez It logo has remained the same for its near-100-year run. I believe that this consistency deserves attention in the article. Please add this fact at your convenience.

Thank you, Tom Gerard.

Advertising campaigns related to Cheez-Its?

Would it be appropriate to add a section to this page detailing advertising campaigns revolving around the Cheez-Its brand? They seem to be a fundamental part of the brand and its development. Petmoc 06:51, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

"Cheez-It crackers"

Is "Cheez-It crackers" the more common term? I thought it was Cheese-Its. Benjamin (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Cheez-It crackers is the only way it is stylized by official material, interestingly. Or at least interestingly to grammar nerds like me. Njmcc (talk) 06:20, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Ingredients and nutrition

I'm removing these sections, they are not encyclopedic for a product not known specifically for its ingredients list or its nutritional qualities. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 01:22, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Why exactly do you think this is beneficial? It's a food. Ingredients are fundamental to its nature. Benjamin (talk) 06:21, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not an almanac. I looked at several other snack foods before making this decision just to make sure there wasn't an existing practice of having these sections. While my sample size was quite small, I found none.

Also, these things change in quiet ways as manufacturers tweak things, so it's easy to become out of date. Look at it this way: If every notable packaged food had these, would Wikipedia be better off or worse off? I would say worse off. Now, if the product is NOTED for having an ingredient or for that matter having had one in the past, then mention that in the prose section. For example, I would expect the article about Coca-cola to mention that at one time it contained cocaine because that information is encyclopedic for that topic. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 15:15, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Why would it be worse off? This article isn't even very long in the first place. Benjamin (talk) 16:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

You've convinced me to do some research. Apparently, some other pages like Tic Tac use the {{Infobox nutritional value}} template for a similar purpose, and some, including Tic Tac, list ingredients. This seems to be uncommon though. Personally, I find that it gets in the way. Perhaps it's time to start a WP:Request for comment. I think the page is better off without them. If you want to restore them and convert the nutrition to use the template,I won't revert. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 18:00, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Mandella effect?

Is it cheez-itz, cheez-its or cheez-it? 2A01:C22:B8FF:B100:B548:7CE8:BD94:E3FC (talk) 11:09, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

The shape of how they were made

They look like the Roblox logo when you look at the Cheez-It crackers, it looks like they had something to do with them, and they look super familiar to it. Who designed it to make it that way? Hebdge134 (talk) 01:41, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
