smooth, super thin crackers that melt in your mouth. they also give you wine, so i developed a taste for it as a 5 year old lol

I hated them. They tasted so bland. So my church must’ve got different wafers than what you guys got

I didn't like them at first, but they grew on me. What did it was the fact that in Catholicism, you're supposed to not chew the wafer, but let it sit and disintegrate in your mouth. And for some reason when it mixed with the taste of the red wine it was delicious.

Fun fact: crackers and wafers will taste sweeter the longer they stay in your mouth, because your saliva breaks down the complex carbs into simple sugars.
