History
Nabisco introduced the Ritz Cracker in 1934. Looking to compete with a cracker made by their competitor, Sunshine Biscuits, they tasked an employee, Sydney Stern, to create a name and advertising plan. Inspired by a hat, Stern created the name Ritz, which appealed to individuals suffering in the Great Depression, offering them "a bite of the good life". He also created the blue circle/yellow lettering logo design. In 2011 Ritz was listed as the "best perceived snack brand" among American consumers in a YouGov poll.
