When and why did Cheez-Its let go of their saying, "Get Your Own Box"?

Q. Just really want to know, it was great and barely anyone remembers it.

A. Cheez-It is an American snack food cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through the Sunshine Biscuits division. They are roughly 26 by 24 mm (1.0 by 0.95 inch) rectangular crackers made with wheat flour, vegetable oil, sharp yellow cheese, salt, and spices. There are a variety of related Cheez-It products, including Baby Swiss, White Cheddar, Parmesan & Garlic, Cheddar Jack, Pepper Jack, Italian Four Cheese, Colby, Reduced Trans Fat, Snack Mix (formerly called Party Mix), Snack Mix Double Cheese, Hot & Spicy (made with Tabasco), Mozzarella, Duoz Sharp Cheddar & Parmesan, Duoz Smoked Cheddar & Monterey Jack, and the Cheez-It Big which is a larger cracker more suitable for garnishing or dipping.[1]

Cheez-It crackers
According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office trademark records, the first "Cheez-It" Cheese Crackers were sold by Green & Green Company of Dayton, Ohio, in May 1921. After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, The Green & Green Company was acquired by The Sunshine Biscuit Company, founded in 1902 as the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company. The Keebler Company acquired Sunshine in 1996, and Keebler was in turn acquired by Kellogg in 2001. Cheez-It crackers are still sold under the Sunshine label.[2]

A former advertising slogan was "Get your own box" which was found on the backs of most boxes. One side also contained the so-called "Anatomy of a Cheez-It." In mid 2007, the boxes were changed to show a picture of a large wedge of cheese labeled "Actual Taste," while a Cheez-It is shown propping it up, labeled "Actual Size." The new slogan in place of "Get Your Own Box" is "Real cheese matters.", with Jim Cummings as the spokesperson in the television commercials.[3]


me and my husband are trying to have another baby but are having trouble, any thoughts on what might help?
Q. I don't have regular periods and i was wondering when females are most fertile or any tips on getting pregnant. We have one child already but she wasn't planned

A. Have you had tests done that might help you find out why your periods are irregular? It could be a thyroid problem or some other problem. Luckily many problems are easily fixed.
What helped me was charting (try fertility friend dot com for free) - take your temp with a basal body thermometer (about $8 at Wal-Mart or wherever) every morning at the same time. Around cycle day 14 (midway) you should see your temps rise at least 3 degrees and stay in that range for about two weeks then drop or if you're pg temps will stay in that range or rise. If your luteal phase (second half of your cycle) is shorter than 10 days there is usually a problem (they call it a Luteal Phase Defect). Women can ovulate a few days before day 14 or a bit later. You can read a lot about this and the thyroid online. Also, if you haven't, get your estrogen tested, usually on cycle day 3, your progesterone tested, usually cycle day 21. It's said that if your progesterone is over 10 you ovulated. I notice my cervical mucous getting more abundant starting around cycle day 10-12. When it's of eggwhite consistency is when you're most fertile. You can't tell when you'll ovulate by the thermometer, it only shows you that you probably ovulated the day before or the day of your temp rise (that sustained).
I sometimes use pee-on ovulation predictor test sticks. They can be pricey. Some women say the dollar store ones are OK??? You can also get a pricey fertility monitor (over $100 at Walgreens etc.)
I got pg the first (and only) time after I got my TSH to the suggested range of 1-2. I feel crappy when I get near 2. Most women feel best around 1.0 or just below. When I got mine to 1.17 I got pg finally. I have been battling my up & down TSH for a few yrs and cannot get it stable since I was pg in Oct 06.

Extremely high dosages of herbs and other supplements will be required to be monitored and administered by a professional. Do NOT administer on your own as some of these herbs can have dangerous effects if not used properly.

Besides herbal and nutritional treatments, other therapies may be required such as Acupuncture, Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Homeopathy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as self-administered Douching.

Babies born with Chlamydia infections have eye (conjunctivitis) and lung/respiratory infections (pneumonia).

Chlamydia is simple to treat with antibiotics, either a single dose or a course lasting up to two weeks:

Standard Medical Treatment of Chlamydia includes:

Doxycycline 100 mg 2-3 times a day for 10-14 days, or

Good luck,

What baby monitor would you recommend for a newborn? I am leaning toward the kind with the video screen. Help

Q. I need to purchase a baby monitor soon, and would like to hear some pros and cons. I am really liking the idea of the type with camera and monitor to actually 'watch' the baby too, but what brands are best? Thanks for any advice!

A. i have the Angelcare Deluxe Movement Monitor and it is the most amazing thing ever it tells you the temp in babys room has a night light and monitors babys breathing and if there is none for 15sec a warning beep goes off and after 20 the thing goes crazy. I love it. I dont worry about sids and have been able to sleep much more then with my 1st.

look at this http://www.angelcare-monitor.com/english/hispeed/intro.html
it lets you kind of demo it online.


Baby monitor with web connection where the in home monitor will work even if my internet goes down?
Q. I am looking for a reliable video baby monitor that I can view on my computer at work, but that is independent in that it will continue to work as a monitor even if my internet connection goes down.
I already found one , the Sassy Web Watch Video Monitor, so I know they exist. I am looking for more options...

A. I think you are a bit in the future. Internet connections have to come from somewhere. Do you know how expensive a camera with its own internet connection would be? My home comcast goes down. My cell phone's 3G goes down. Even if you get a dedicated T1 line to your house it can and will still have down time.

Usually holes in the internet services are less then a minute long. While I realize a lot can happen in 1 minute, I doubt your nanny will be wonderful the whole day then magically know the net is down and start beating your kid.


Question for people that know anything about electronics or batteries?
Q. I have a baby monitor system and the camera plugs into the wall. I want to hook it up to batteries so that it is wireless. The input of the a/c adapter for the camera is 120VAC and the output is 12VDC. Would it work if i cut the 2 wires going to the black a/c adapter box thing, put one wire on the end of 8 connected AA batteries and the other wire on the other end of the 8 connected AA batteries?

A. yes you can... but.....

You need to know how much current the camera uses, this will tell you if you can use AA batteries of if you need D batteries.

The wall wart has a positive and a negative. You can cut the wire away from the wall wart and connect it to a battery box.

You can buy the battery box from:
