Talk:Triscuit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But what does 'triscuit' mean? Three cuts? I do not understand!

It's a pun on "biscuit"; the idea is that a triscuit is fifty percent better or something. Tb 03:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
According to Lore's Book of Ratings, Triscuit provides you with "three of whatever a 'scuit' is." Jerry Kindall 00:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are Triscuits woven or stamped?

How are triscuits made? How do they get that "woven" look? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.212.124.229 (talk) 05:09, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] SPAM ADS

This article had developed into a spam ad with unsupported claims to nutrition and advertising brand extensions in a bullet list. I removed the claim and moved the variations list to a footnote. --Kevin Murray 21:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I can do without the flavor list, but I hardly think that mentioning that Triscuits are high in fiber, using a source from WebMD is spam. Fiber is a objective property of a Triscuit - your perception of fiber as spam is your own subjectivity.
Source Title: 6 Foods and Tips for More Fiber
Source Recommendation: Reduced-Fat Triscuit crackers = 3 grams
Therefore the source implies that Triscuits are a recommended source of dietary fiber, does it not? the_undertow talk 22:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I would somewhat agree that there is an implication of providing fiber, but the quantities of crackers are ambiguous and there is no specific statement to support the conclusion that this product is superior to other crackers in that respect. A vague example on WebMD is not exactly a clinical assurance of superior health values. Short of inferences bordering on primary research, I'd just say it's a damn fine cracker.

  • If they end up using that as a slogan, you may want to sue. There is no consensus to put back my 'valuable' information on fiber, so I'm going to leave it alone. However, I feel bad for the colons across the world that will never know about this damn fine cracker. the_undertow talk 20:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Funny! I stumbled across this when doing some research on foods which will help me to lower my blood sugar. Sadly Triscuits which are my favorite cracker are no better than others for carb. intake. Sadly the new rye triscuit is no better than regular trisket, though rye is generally a bit lower in carbs than wheat. --Kevin Murray 02:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
