You can currently purchase 300g of Jacob's Cream Crackers from Tesco for ninety pence which are presented in their famous and bold orange packaging.

Jacob's Cream Crackers is something I remember eating as a child along with Ryvita which I remember particularly disliking. I had rather forgotten of their existence until I saw them on a colleague's desk and feeling a bit peckish grabbed one to snack on and I really liked it. Since then I have eaten loads of them.
