"There are a lot of things that humanity probably won’t ever know for sure,
like why are we here, is there a life after death, and what’s the origin of the
famous brand name of snack crackers—Triscuit?
Scratch that, actually, someone answered this age-old question, and to the
surprise of many, the tri part in Triscuit does not, in fact, mean three. I’m
as shocked as you are!
And no, the people at Triscuit didn’t know this until this one Tweeter figured
it all out with the power of the internet, so enjoy his thread explaining the
whole thing."
Via Muse, who wrote: "When I was a kid I remember my mother once looking at the
ingredients of a loaf of bread made with “triticale”. I knew immediately that
was grain because Tribbles ate quadrotriticale in Star Trek! I always thought
Triscuits were triticale biscuits. I was wrong!"
