99's Suck it!!!
I was just surprised that neither had the slightest idea as to what they are.
Like above, I eat a pack almost daily. Hey bro, was just enquiring, as I'd never heard of 'em. So, maybe code for fillet steak sammich, then ? or a big ole chincum fried pork chop ?

Eat them all the time. Love me some Toasties and a Ginger Ale. Always called them nabs. Lance brand is the best, but I' thinking the term comes from Nabisco. IDK

I grew up in Georgia and never called them nabs. Heard it, new what it meant, but not often used. Same for me in NC, we call them a pack of crackers.

Buncha slack jaw yokels putting people down over a quaint hardly used slang term for a sandwich cracker that most southerners don't use either?

Pack of nabs and a Pepsi is considered a 7 course meal in these parts

Yee haw. Back off Turbo! https://www.foodandwine.com/snacks/...favorite-peanut-butter-sandwich-crackers" A Nab is a sandwich cracker that is packaged by a commercial company. It's not a peanut butter cracker made at home, and I know some people call the cheese-filled ones "Nabs" in the same way they call every soft drink a "Coke," but not in my house. In 1924, Nabisco introduced a five-cent "peanut sandwich packet," called it a Nab (short for Nabisco) and updated the name to NAB in 1928. What most people call Nabs today are often ToastChee, the signature offering of Charlotte-based Lance Inc. ToastChee made its debut in 1938 and as it caught on—especially with soldiers who trained at Camp Greene—Nabisco opened a bakery right there in Charlotte to meet the demand. Since the two were so similar, fans just called them both Nabs. Nabisco stopped selling these packets sometime in the late '70s or early '80s, and Lance became the dominant brand, but the name stuck around like peanut butter on your palate. (Nabisco renewed the trademark for the last time in 1988 and canceled it in 2009.) Folks don't generally accuse my state of being progressive, but just like Confederate flags and Sunday blue laws, the word "Nabs" is just one of those obsolete things that some Southerners have refused to give up. Each package is a single snack, four to six crackers, wrapped in cellophane. Nabs are generally found at convenience stores, gas stations, newsstands, and vending machines and more often than not, that's where you will find Nabs today.

All kidding aside....I just ate a bacon sandwich with processed cheese on it.
Iceberg lettuce....Walmart roma tomatoes, non organic onion, Best Foods non olive oil mayo and Walmart French bread toasted in some of bacon grease....oh...and I salted the tomatoes.
So I probably just gave myself 18 different types of cancer. So...I got that going for me.

A pallet of em. Them 2 big Ole dogs he has would love em too. Perform every command they ever been taught on the 1st time saying it. For a Nab👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Once you give a dog a Nab. They know to obey any command the 1st time for another one Even just a small peice of one. Dogs can't detect the sound of the wrapper on a package of Nabs being opened from dozens of yards away too. 👍🏻🤘🤣

I just killed off 3 big Ole slices of wild Mike's pizza left over from last night. Covered a couple of food groups from the food pyramid thing???
Had a 10oz bag of Uncle Bucks chocolate covered raisins and a Mt dew on the way back from BPS in Nashvegas.
Got 5 more boxes of accutips today.

If all the bad food and especially Nabs don't get me 1st. Pretty sure I got enough ammo to kill some antlered things for about the next 8 to 10yrs. ( but I'm still gonna buy more)

All sides of my families are from both sides of the Savannah river. Never heard, "nabs " once.
But always heard, "Coca-Cola and a pack of crackers".
Do ya'll remember when southerners used to pour a few salted peanuts on top in a glass bottle of Coke? It kinda gone now.
