Triscuit is a snack cracker, made by Nabisco, which takes the form of square baked whole wheat wafers. It was invented in 1900, a patent was granted in 1902, and the Shredded Wheat Company in Niagara Falls, New York began production the next year.
Nabisco began producing Triscuit in 1903 in Niagara Falls, New York. The manufacturer boasted it was “Baked by Electricity”.
The wafer measured 2-1/4 inches by 4 inches and remained that size for nearly twenty-one years. At that point, the ovens were altered and the cracker size changed to a 2-inch by 2-inch square.
Triscuit is made from wheat which is first cooked in water until it reaches about fifty percent moisture content, then it is tempered, which is intended to allow moisture to diffuse evenly into the grain. The grain is formed into shredded wheat strands, by using slotted rollers. Webs are formed from the strands, then several webs are stacked together. The still moist stack of strands is crimped at regular intervals to produce individual crackers. The moisture content is reduced to five percent by oven baking.
This one's for sadness
These are for pain
And here are the words
You can't get back again
Well I'm holding a picture
Of you on your lawn
Smiling like an angel
The fortunate one
Well it's alright now
People get through this somehow
It's alright now
We will keep moving I know
If you remember cause I do
When the fever was breaking
I was sweat soaked and frail
I dreamed I was
Stephen Truscott a child in jail
And when I awoke
And I felt your cool breeze
I wept like an ocean
Sweet tears of relief
Well it's alright now
People get through this somehow
It's alright now
We will keep moving I know
If you remember cause I do
