Okay Cracker conesseuiers (no, I cannot spell this word), without cheating, tell me how many crackers are in one standard sleeve of Saltine crackers.
Love,

I guess 50.
But I have no earthly idea.

50 seems too few to me. 70 maybe?

I think it's got to be an even number. I'll guess 30.
And now I'm hungry for some crunchy Jif.

I guessed 45. Don't know why, but the number popped into my brain before I saw the choices. EJ, are you going to make us count or will you provide the answer
!

I'll be there are different numbers depending on the brand. In my box of Nabisco Premiums, there are 4 sleeves, and the nutritional info says there are 150 (approx.) crackers per box, so that would mean there are 37.5 crackers per sleeve, neither even NOR a whole number!

And I though the pieces I always seem to get were broken whole crackers...when it has really been the pesky .5 of a cracker.

The "official" answer from the EarlJam experiments is 35.
Congrats to the two who picked 35!
Also, I am officially making "sleeve of crackers" a metaphor for a long line (35+) of white people.
Example: "Man, I missed 40 minutes of the Barry Manilow concert because of the sleeve of crackers at Will Call."

Full confession: I was one of the people who picked 35, and you already told me the answer on Saturday night.

Are you going to post this definition at urbandictionary.com? Because if you are, you need to let us know so that we can go over there and give it the thumbs up.
