The '''saltine cracker challenge''' or '''saltine challenge''' is a [[food challenge]] or competition in which a person has 60 seconds in which to eat six [[saltine cracker|saltine soda crackers]] without [[drinking]] anything.
Although the challenge may sound trivial, it is actually very difficult because the crackers quickly exhaust the [[saliva]] in the mouth. Even though six saltines can fit in one's mouth at the same time, and a minute is plenty of time to chew, the resulting mass of crumbs is still difficult to swallow with a dry mouth.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Family Book: Amazing Things To Do Together |first1=Philippa |last1=Wingate |first2=David |last2=Woodroffe |page=[https://archive.org/details/familybookamazin00wing_0/page/160 160] |year=2008 |___location=New York |publisher=[[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic]] |isbn=0-545-05757-4 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/familybookamazin00wing_0/page/160 }}</ref><ref name="Joplin">{{cite news |title=‘Dr. Food Science’ mixes bananas and Sprite, conducts other questionable food experiments |work=[[The Joplin Globe]] |first=Dustin |last=Shipman |date=2008-04-29 |url=http://www.joplinglobe.com/food/local_story_120162143.html/resources_printstory |access-date=2009-10-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.
