Anyone here upset that Rye Crisp crackers are no longer sold?sp

I went to 3 markets today looking For my favorite crackers. Then, when I couldn't find them, I checked the Internet only to find they are no longer being manufactered. I've eaten Rye Crisps all my life! There is no other cracker anything like them. Apparently, Con-Agra decided that only a few old folks like me eat them and they had somehow failed to connect with a younger market. What bad news. My favorite cracker-- gone forever!

I think the last box I bought was over 3 years ago...they stopped making them. Too bad Con Agra didn't ask me what my opinion was on them.

Actually, they put up a Facebook page Save Rye Crisps and they only got 129 responding.

@greenmountaingal: maybe Rye-Crisp lovers aren't exactly Facebook lovers.

@cherokeepatti: They aren't...because they're old. If Con Agra had announced an 800 # call-in survey or something like that, there would've been a huge response. I'm going to send an email to Con Agra protesting.

Someone could make a good business if they would bring back a similar cracker and promote it well. Rye is much healthier than wheat, and Scandinavians love it.

@cherokeepatti: The company most likely to do that would be selling it through the Vermont Country Store, a catalog that sells all kinds of things from a long time ago that are no longer sold in stores like Lifebuoy Soap and Tangee lipstick. I plan to email the Vermont Country Store suggesting it.

@greenmountaingal: Things are usually way overpriced once they are sold on that site.

@cherokeepatti: yes...but where else could I buy my favorite Tangee lipstick? That's the only lipstick I ever use.
