Crackers aren't cookies

Post Reply New Topic

I was called Cracker sometimes by an African American when I worked at WalMart.

^^Does that imply that you are tasty?

Crackers and cookies are like apples and oranges. They're both completely different.

...Cookie , Cookie , lend me your komb !

By far the funniest thread I've stumbled upon lol

Captcha also seems to think that smoothies are juice, yet the front of a kayak isn't a boat.

I'm with Kuraudo, if it goes well with milk it's a cookie (this would include Animal crackers, and graham crackers).

I have also been dubbed a cracker in the past. When I ask which kind/brand/flavor of cracker, they don't have an answer. I don't want to be some nonsense cracker that's all waif-like and breaks under pressure, I want to be the kind of cracker that when chucked at someone, really packs a punch! Like a Triscuit or one of those pita crackers!

hahaha...we're akin.

My nickname actually comes from my surname which I wont mention here.

I always found the term animal crackers confusing, because they are sweet like cookies. And then there's that song "Animal Crackers In My Soup", which confused me even more as a kid.

And speaking of Cookie Monster, today I saw a photo of a plush toy of Cookie buried up to his big googly eyes in the snow. I guess some kid had lost him or didn't take him back inside. It looked so cute and pathetic I wanted to dig him out, wrap him in a blanket and feed him cookie-noodle soup.

So, a piece of cake is a cookie? How about a chocolate bar? Both are clearly not cookies...

and what else floats in water?

Don't let anybody call you a cracker, Nick. It's a derogatory term for a white person.

As for the cookie-cracker controversy:

I believe graham crackers are cracker because they look like crackers.

I believe animal crackers are cookies--because they look like cookies.

This controversy doesn't matter at all to a Brit, all cookies are biscuits to them. I believe a cracker, to a Brit is a "savoury biscuit."

^Now you're just confusing me.

LOL...How am I confusing you?

A cracker, to me, is a usually flat biscuit-like food item. It is usually salty (called savoury in England, I believe).

A cookie, to me, what the Brits call a biscuit. Cookies are ALWAYS sweet. There's much more variation in cookies than in crackers. There's no such thing as cracker shaped like an animal, or even shaped like a conventional cookie (usually round).

Animal crackers are cookies.

Graham crackers are sweet crackers.

What do Canadians call cookies? I think it's the same in Canada as it is in the US as far as cookies/crackers are concerned.

A cracker is also a derogatory term for a poor white person.

My head's all screwy today. *yawn*

Sounds like you're under the influence of Love, Kuraudo!

Actually it's "derogatory" to all white people. It's derived from the slave days when the slaves referred to their overseers as "crackers" because of them cracking the whip to get them to work faster.

He was a friend & I think he did it in jest so it didn't really bother me.

I agree with you on the cookie/cracker controversy
