Cheez-It Top Cheese 2012 Election: I Vote Cheddar Jack

Any Cheez-It is a good Cheez-It in this house. We love Cheez-It crackers. I would say they are my husband’s favorite snack. I love that you can get them at Costco. I love that it’s a safe snack for us to pick up for the kids at school. Miles had a party a few months back and we signed up to bring cheese crackers. When I went to Albertsons to pick them up I found that the Cheez-It family had grown. 8 variations to the regular cheese flavor so I stood there thinking, uh, which flavor do I buy? Oh the conundrum.

I decided to get the cheddar Jack flavor and sent my son off to school looking forward to trying them when he got home. Only when he got home there weren’t any left overs. I asked the teacher about it and she said, the kids all had seconds and thirds, there aren’t any left overs. SIGH! I didn’t get to try them. Well, not a problem. Cheez-It decided I needed to try all eight flavors to participate in the Cheez-It Top Cheese 2012 Election and sent me a box of each. Now, I’m not sure if I already had a prejudice to the Cheddar Jack flavor or not but it truly is my favorite flavor. It’s the kind of flavor that I get started on and then just can’t stop.

Cheez-It wants your opinion too:

This election year, eight Cheez-It cracker flavors are both cheesy and square—each vying to be named America’s Top Cheese.  We’re calling on you to support your favorite Cheez-It flavor.

I suggest you support Cheddar Jack:

Unless you’re afraid you won’t have the will power to stop yourself from eating the whole box. All 8 candidates are:

Colby: The People’s Cheese "In times like these, the people need someone they can count on. When it comes to the tough issues, let’s all hope that milder heads prevail."

Italian Four Cheese: Italian Four Cheese is the One"Freedom. Variety. Old-world values. In this great melting pot of culture and taste, why choose one when you can have it all? Four Cheese is the One!"

White Cheddar: Let Cheese Be Cheese Again"For those of you not caught up in cheese slinging. For those who prefer peace and quiet to youthful indiscretion. For those of you who yearn for a simpler time, I implore you to let cheese be cheese again!"

Pepper Jack: Are You Better Off Than You Were One Box Ago?"There are some who accuse me of being soft. Others would say I am too yellow. But judge me not by my color, but by the fire I bring to every bite. And ask yourself, ‘Are you better off than you were one box ago?!’"

Hot & Spicy: For a hotter, spicier Cheez-It"What my opponents fear most is my hot headedness and brutal honesty. Folks, the cracker stops here. Give me your vote, and I’ll give you a hotter, spicier Cheez-It."

Baby Swiss: For young, For old. For real."So what if there are holes in my platform? I have youth, vigor, and a nose for great taste on my side. I am for the young, I am for the old, I am for real."

Mozzarella: The Cheese for Change"A cheese defiant to rolling with the times can suffer only one fate – to crumble at the feet of progress. Snackers, I challenge you to roll with me into the future, and stand by me as the cheese for change."

Cheddar Jack: It’s snack time in America again"Every single American has the right to come home from work, school, or the grocery store to a snack that’s both real and delicious. Folks, it’s snack time in America again."
