[edit] Buttery?

I've never had a 'buttery' oyster cracker. They usually taste similar to plain saltines.PrometheusX303 16:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

the ones i've had have always been pretty "buttery". You can tell by the taste that they have butter or some kind of shortening in them. you can also usually tell because they leave a greasy residue on the package they're in and on your hands.--Alhutch 01:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Must be different brands. I've never seen any residue on the packages. But then again, I haven't eaten oyster crackers in years, and rarely did before then. PrometheusX303 01:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
ps Now that I've seen the pic, I know we are talking different crackers: The ones I'm used to are much smaller. Those look almost like Ritz. PrometheusX303 15:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mansfield, Ohio

The city of Mansfield Ohio also claims to be the birthplace of the oyster cracker, at the corner of West Sixth Street, and North Main Street at the National Bisket Co. (NABISCO) the building still stands there. I dont have the News Journal Article on this, giving the date, but I'm sure it's still in there Archives. Gordon J. Wendling

The article on Nabisco states that the conglomerate was formed in 1898 from the merger of many other conglomerates (some apparently dating back to the 1830s). Is the company from Mansfield, OH named "Bisket" or is it the Nabisco we know today (headquartered in New Jersey)? When was the Mansfield company started?
