Nabisco says they're "crispy baked snacks." Ritz Air Crisps and Cheese Nips Air Crisps are available now at your grocer's for $1.99 for a 7-ounce box.

Don Russell (married, five children at home, ages 6-16): "Our cheese-flavored crackers were crispy, cheesy, light and thin. Some of our taste testers claimed the crackers exploded in their mouths with microbursts of flavors. This was a popular cracker at our home that seemed to be enjoyed by all. Our box was gone in just a few moments. That must be a positive barometer."Edyth Jensen (married, three children at home): "These air-baked, original flavor Ritz crackers were thinner than regular Ritz, but very crisp. Even the little ones enjoyed them."

Nihla Lake (married, two children at home): "This original flavor Ritz snack couldn't decide if it wanted to be a chip or a cracker. It had the best of both - crispy, light and airy - but maybe a little too fragile; we had a lot of broken pieces in our box. They were low-fat but had enough to retain a good old-fashioned Ritz cracker flavor. We did as it read on the box and `inhaled' them."

Linda C. Tingey (single mother, two teenage boys at home): "At the same time we were given these cheese air crisps, we got a box of no-name cheese crackers. You'd have to eat the whole box of no-name to find a hint of cheese flavor. The air crisps were yummy. We plan on buying these again."

Rich Firmage (married, four children, oldest 10 years old): "We tested the cheese flavored Crisps. My children liked them because they taste very much like the Pepperidge Farm Cheese Fish. But I can't stand that flavor, so I didn't like them very much. Perhaps another flavor would be better."
