I love Ritz crackers. Now I’m gone have to go to Walmart (I hate that place).

Why buy a sleeve when you can purchase a box for the same price?

I get mine from a local grocery store called Super Saver. For a while now, they've had them for $2.50/box. I've ate far more than I should have in the past few weeks.

This is true

While we use grape juice, we believe in using a single loaf of bread and a single cup. The bread is passed on a plate (or in a basket) and we each tear a part of it off. Then we pass the cup. As the cup is passed, each of us dip our bread into the grape juice and partake in the broken body and the blood, remembering His death, our atonement, and our propitiation. We do not use wafers, crackers, or oyster crackers. It's a single loaf that is broken and a single cup that is passed.

The reason why we use a single loaf of bread and a single cup is based on the following text:

I Corinthians 11:23-26
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

It appears that Christ broke a single loaf and passed a single cup. For us, the single loaf represents one Lord. When we break it, it represents how He was broken. As we pass and tear the bread, we see how it was our sin that caused him to be broken and beaten, with flesh torn from His body. We tore Him to pieces through our sin. As the single cup is passed, it represents the once and for all shedding of blood for our sin. As we dip (sop) the bread in the cup and pass it, we see our share of the broken Savior's body, saturated, and sometimes even dripping, with the blood of His sacrifice.

I don't imagine it is a "sin" to use wafers, crackers, or even individual little cups for the grape juice (or wine). It's just the way we do it.

I know of a church that used cherry Hi C, and pieces of Cheez-Its.

In plastic taste strange. And they are kinda mooshy.
