Cheese Nips (originally stylized as "Cheese-Nips") were a small cheese-flavored cracker[1] manufactured by Mondelez International under its brand, Nabisco, they were originally used to compete against Sunshine Biscuit's (now Kellogg's) Cheez-It crackers.

Portion-controlled packages of Cheese Nips were also sold under the name Cheese Nips Thin Crisps 100 Calorie Packs (Thinsations in Canada).[2]

History

[edit]

Cheese Nips, originally stylized as "Cheese-Nips", were introduced in 1955.[1] After the Kraft merger, they were known as "Kraft Cheese Nips". However, on November 21, 2019, there was a recall on Cheese Nips due to a plastic contamination.[3] As of 2020, Cheese Nips have since been discontinued according to a Nabisco representative.[4] They are still sold in Canada by a brand named "Christie" as "Ritz Cheese Nibs" as of 2022, however.[5][6]

[edit]

Cheese Nips is the name of Act 1 Track 8 of the off-Broadway musical Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.[7] In this satire, Sylvia becomes deranged watching her guests prefer Cheese Nips to her other food preparation.[8]

Statista calculates that in 2016, 1.5 million Americans consumed eight or more bags of Cheese Nips.[9]
