Lance Smackdown

When I was young, I was strongly in the Choc-O-Lunch camp, but as I matured, I began gravitating toward Nekot.

Please discuss.

Where else can one find the elusive substance, "chee"? Is the "t" silent at the end of "nekot"? I'm never certain.

I'm a Nipchee gal. Or Toastchee, if Nip is not available.

Lance website. Their headquarters are in Charlotte, NC, not too far from where my mom lives. It's not a appetizing-looking, or smelling, place.

The plain Captain's Wafers were standard in any basket of breads and crackers in restaurants when I grew up in NC. They were cello-packed in 2s. I ADORED them. Salty-sweet-creamy crackers. They don't seem to be available locally, not even in Harris Teeter, unless you buy them sandwiched with cream cheese and chives.

[Waitman]

Toastchee, for sure. Since it has complex carbohydrates and has peanut butter, it's actually healthy for you -- as opposed to the cookies and stuff. It's the round part of a square meal.

It should be noted that atmosphere adds a lot to the flavor and that all Lance products taste best when bought from a vending machine in a little brick shelter at an aging gas station on the two-lane, just upwind of the dubious but ultimately (barely) acceptable restrooms.

[Anna Blume]

I wonder if there's a Pepsi-Coke competition going on in vending-machine dining options. I'm used to dropping coins for very dry peanut butter smushed between two bright orange square crackers.

Cheese on Wheat. I had a friend in college who, almost literally, lived on these. To this day, a box still qualifies as a legitimate Christmas present for the man. They are my Lance of choice as well.
