Coming in fifth was the original, Red Oval Farms Stoned Wheat Thins ($3.39 for 10.6 ounces, Mollie Stone's), which came across as "bland -- even for a cracker." Three might buy them; two would not.

Q: I read your column often and enjoy the service you provide. I am looking for stoned wheat crackers by Red Oval Farms. I’ve seen them offered online for about $10 a box, which is ridiculous.
