    I really did not know there was a recipe difference between Savoy and Jatz.

    Where on earth does the name Jatz come from?

      I feel like Jatz come with salt on them and crunch better. They also have more of that golden look to them.

      I’ll say I’m team Jatz as well if people want to argue about it

        I actually prefer Ritz to both the others, although they have a different taste and kind of feel like a different thing

        Also love how Ritz and Savoy are both hotels too

      Savoy is owned my Arnotts, as is Jatz. Savoy was owned by another company that merged with Arnotts, and Arnotts already had Jatz.

      “Savoy is an extremely similar cracker initially introduced by the Brockhoff Biscuits in Melbourne[8] in 1938.[9] While they were originally competitors, with the merger of Brockhoff and Arnott’s in 1963, the decision was made to keep both products on store shelves.[2] Today, besides branding, the difference between the two biscuits include the replacement of the full cream milk powder and malt in Jatz with golden syrup in Savoy.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatz

      Edit: I think the name is a surname?

      Edit: idk wtf I’m saying

      I like both but mostly have eaten savoy so maybe a small preference due to ‘used to itness’ (I’m sure there’s a proper word for that) However, I do love a fancy cracker with a cheese plate, like the various flavoured ones, wafers, pita crisp etc. Poor Jatz and Savoy have a lot of competition.
