Whitney Darrow, Jr.,'s mermaid loves the water but she also appreciates keeping her Premium Saltines dry. Or, as she puts it, "I may be all wet but my PREMIUM SALTINES stay dry in the re-closable, moisture-proof packets. And--dry in the packet means crisp to your taste!" The advertisement dates from 1955. I give Darrow a lot more credit here than the uninspired advertising copy writer.
