The tablets are letters, which even came with their own special clay envelopes to protect the etched in letters from being dinged off in transit.

There is, of course, some discourse over what kind of snack the tablets actually resemble. Are they crackers…or cereal?

Twitter user @standfastonhigh even suggested that eating them might lift the 2020 curse. It’s been quite a year, so who’s willing to take one for the team?
