A Cheez-It Essay
An Essay

Cheez-its are the ultimate snack cracker. Manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits, Inc., in Woodbridge, NJ, they are available in many variations. Among these are regular flavor, white cheddar, hot and spicy, party mix, and big Cheez-Its. Each type is available in many different sized packages, ranging from 1.5 oz to 3 lbs.

Many people claim that Chee-tos are ultimately better than cheez-its. However, these people are highly mistaken. Misled by their beloved Chester Cheetah, who tends to be beaten to a pulp in his own ads, these Chee-tos fans are missing out on absolutely the most wonderful snack ever dreamed of in eating Chee-tos instead of Cheez-its. Cheez-its taste much better, and have a much more pleasing texture. Chee-tos are similar to styrofoam peanuts with cheese powder sprinkled on them, while Cheez-its are pure cheese cracker.

Also, Cheez-its are more nutritious than Chee-tos. Cheez-its contain less saturated fat, more carbohydrates, and more protein than Chee-tos. They also contain more calcium and iron than do Chee-tos. In addition, Chee-tos are more expensive per unit of mass than are Cheez-its. A 1.5 ounce package of Cheez-its costs the same amount as a 1.125 ounce package of Chee-tos. Furthermore, Cheez-Its are much cleaner to eat than are Chee-tos, as you avoid “Chee-to arm,” which is when your arm is covered in cheese up to around your elbow. When you eat Chee-tos, the cheese tends to come off on your hands, while the cheese in Cheez-Its remains in the cracker. This is particularly important at business lunches or on dates, when you want to make a good impression on your company.

Cheez-its have one main cheese cracker rival: Cheese-nips. Cheese-nips are far inferior, however, partially because there are not nearly as many varieties of them available. Also, they are of inferior quality.

I conclude that Cheez-its are the ultimate snack food. They are less expensive, tastier, and more nutritious than similar snack foods. Also, they do not have to use a clumsy mascot to attract buyers - the taste alone is enough.
