I put a little butter on them sometimes and it's delicious but everyone thinks I'm crazy until they try it. I wish I had some saltines right now.

I survived for something like three years on butter and saltines. It's the best if you use unsalted butter, and put rock salt on top, but let's be real here–we're just scraping butter straight off the stick with each saltine and eating it like we're in the trenches of the Great War and we don't know when the Krauts are gonna attack us so we gotta eat fast

My grandma used to do this. It really is a satisfying treat.

I’ve done this. It never crossed my mind other people didn’t. You have some butter nearby and you’re eating crackers? You put the butter on the crackers.

It’s like finding a thread where people are going “Try butting butter on the toast. I know it sounds weird [no?] but you gotta try it.” and others “Oh yeah my grandma used to do that”

I get that a lot when I put butter on my pizza crust, I mean it is bread?

Isn't that what saltines are for?

Edit: Wait, I read that as peanut butter. Butter is...not gross but not what I do.

Peanut butter is good too. That's for when I feel like making marginally better choices, though (because then I can say, "Well it has protein?")

I like butter on saltines.

I also think you're crazy, but I believe you.

mixing carbs and fat is never crazy
