They would seem to be missing a great marketing opportunity right now.

So I was searching to see if anyone else makes bacon crackers, and instead found a video - Hitler finds out that Nabisco no longer makes Bacon-flavored snack crackers...

Maybe we should alert Paula Deen. Seems like something she'd make.

Bacon crackers with butter filling? Why not?

I believe they still make Wheat Thins. Why they chose that one to continue is anyone's guess. Swiss and Ham ande Bacon sound so much better.

Wheat Thins are definitely still sold here in Canada, at least. According to Wikipedia all Nabisco cookies and crackers are sold in Canada under the Christie brand. There are also Bacon Dippers, which look an awful lot like the Bacon Thins pictured here. I think they are the same. I get Swiss Cheese flavoured crackers too (but no Ham). Same hexagon shape I believe. Yummy :)

Wheat thins are practically their own industry, with multiple flavors, sizes, shapes, and mutations.

I was unaware we'd lost Bacon Thins completely, but haven't seen them in a while. The snack shelves seem to be full of multiple iterations of Wheat Thins and Cheez-Its (ironically, two of my favorite snack crackers, but I didn't want them to multiply and take over the stores completely).

Wheat Thins and Ham-n-Swiss are still availble in the US...also Chick'n-a-Biskit. :)

Did they still make Bacon Thins in the '80s-early '90s? I seem to vaguely remember them from my childhood, but maybe I'm thinking of a different cracker.

I wish I could try the Swiss n' Ham crackers. I know tastes change over the years, but you'd think Swiss with ham and bacon would be tastes that would stay in favor throughout the years.

WHY DO THEY NOT MAKE THESE ANYMORE?!

With as obsessed as everyone is over bacon nowadays, they'd surely sell!
