You gotta LOVE TikTok, you learn something new everyday! A TikTok user revealed that they figured out why a Ritz Cracker has scalloped edges. It's not just for look...it's to...get ready...CUT CHEESE!!!!

I tried to do some research and found that Ritz has not confirmed this BUT I did find out that they were invented in 1934!

"In 1934, during the Depression, Americans yearned for something fancy and exquisite, so a Nabisco employee came up with the name Ritz for its new cracker to help sell it"

Well damn, now I want some Ritz.
