The secret's not on the box, it is the box.

As one of the original fans of Nilla Wafers (Nilla goes back to 1968 - I’m aware of this. In fact it is rumored Sirhan Sirhan had a stash of wafers in his pocket when he shot and killed Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in June that year. He did a terrible thing, but was ahead of the curve in terms of tasty, low fat snacks) I feel embarrassed by what I’m about to admit.

The Nilla Wafer box. You already know this don’t you? I hate you people. The design that illustrates the scrumptiousness of the cookies and holds the trademark logo is placed vertically on one side and horizontally on the other. Does that not blow your mind? So when the box is placed in its upright, standing position, depending on your location it looks either vertical or horizontal.

I eat them with peanut butter and so should you. By the way, who’s ever in their LIFE, used the recipe on the side and made banana pudding? You purchase the wafers because they’re easy. Simple. Fun. Not to create other foods with. This concludes my Nilla Wafer rant.

NOTE: For all the morons looking at this picture. NO. This is not what I'm describing. It is the other side of the box that is not displayed that would be in the horizontal position right now.
