Mystery solved: Why Ritz crackers have jagged edges
<p>Ritz crackers made their TikTok debut, and their most recent post has garnered a huge amount of attention.</p>
<p>In a video that has now gone viral on the social media platform, the cracker company shocked consumers by revealing what the mysterious ridges around the edges are for.</p>
<p>The jagged edges are not there for purely aesthetic reasons, rather, it can help with preparing cheese to be nibbled.</p>
<p>According to the video, which shows someone rolling a Ritz cracker's edges over a slice of cheese, cutting it in half, the disc's design was made with snacking in mind on more levels than one.</p>
<p>TikTok viewers' minds were blown at the solving of what was once a sophisticated, and now simple, mystery.</p>
<p>Captioned "the more you know", Ritz had simply declared knives as unnecessary.</p>
<p>"My life is a lie," one TikTok user commented, while another thought Ritz were lying.</p>
<p>"That's not what they're for," another TikTok user said. "You just made this up."</p>
<p>In a cheeky clap-back, the company replied, "But we're Ritz, we're allowed to."</p>
<p>Other TikTok users were not impressed, with one saying, "Or [you could] just grab the cheese with two hands and tear a slice."</p>
<p>Ritz, unbothered, replied, "That works too."</p>
<p>Since being posted earlier in the week, the video has had 1.6 million views, and has accrued over 278,900 likes.</p>
