Here is some trivia from Ritz:

- U.S. consumers buy more boxes of Original Ritz than any other cracker.

- If you were to lay them alongside one another, the number of Ritz crackers sold annually (approximately 22.25 billion) would circle the globe nearly 100 times (7,926.28 miles around the equator).

- Ritz crackers are in the pantry of one in three American homes.

- Original Ritz crackers sold in the United States have seven docker holes and 46 scallops around the edge.

- 98 percent of consumers are familiar with the Ritz brand.
