Cheese Nips (originally stylized as "Cheese-Nips") were a small cheese-flavored cracker[1] manufactured by Mondelez International under its brand, Nabisco.

Portion-controlled packages of Cheese Nips were also sold under the name Cheese Nips Thin Crisps 100 Calorie Packs (Thinsations in Canada).[2]

History[]

Cheese Nips, originally stylized as "Cheese-Nips", were introduced in 1955.[1] In November 2019, there was a recall on Cheese Nips due to a plastic contamination.[3] As of 2020, Cheese Nips have since been discontinued as said by a Nabisco representative.[4] They are still sold in Canada by a brand named "Christie" as "Christie Cheese Nips" as of 2022.[5][citation needed]

Popular culture[]

Cheese Nips is the name of Act 1 Track 8 of the off-Broadway musical Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.[6] In this satire, Sylvia becomes deranged watching her guests prefer Cheese Nips to her other food preparation.[7]

Statista calculates that in 2016, 1.5 million Americans consumed eight or more bags of Cheese Nips.[8]
