On March 31, 1921, the Dayton, Ohio-based cracker company Green & Green introduced the world to its new treat: a 1-by-1-inch cheese-based cracker.
The company was bought in 1932 by the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co. (which turned into Sunshine Foods). Sunshine was bought by Keebler in 1996. Then, in 2001, Kellogg became the latest (and current) company to own the snack cracker.
A century later, there are more than 30 styles of Cheez-It.
Oh, by the way, it’s
not Cheez-Its there’s no “s” on the end. Please respect!
