Are saltines soda crackers?

I always thought so. My guess is that soda crackers are crackers leavened with baking soda, and saltines are soda crackers with salt, but I've been misled by similar logic in the past.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A quick recipe Google seems to indicate that soda crackers are made with baking soda, and water crackers with baking water powder.

Thank you! I guessed as much when a student asked me. But when I tried to do a search on soda cracker ingredients, it wasn't especially helpful.

Thrive to spite them

You've come to hate the movie? I had to listen to the promotional instore reel that included That Song. I head That Song almost every hour.

Working at Suncoast was way better. Still had grumpy customers, but we could play almost whatever movie we wanted (when I started that was lots of BlackAdder and Red Dwarf and indie movies), except if there was some big new release.

Plus my area to stock and keep straight was the soft porn and Playboy videos and naked yoga, naked volleyball, etc. I read the backs and made fun of them. It seemed that every couple months some college guys would come in, go over there look around and then snicker and then decide to ask me for recommendations. I always loved that, I'd bop over with a huge smile on my face and start giving enthusastic recommendations while they got more and more uncomfortable.

Blockbuster had a "only G-rated or store promotional video" rule for what we could watch in-store. I loved to put in the old Muppet Show highlight videos that we had, as well as Schoolhouse Rock. I also put in holiday-appropriate musicals (although my manager did have a small freakout when I put in 1776 on July 4th--the occasion "God damn the man!" comments from Thomas Jefferson, et al, worried her).

Hee! Clearly, they were trying to make you uncomfortable. How marvelous that it backfired every time.
