How it's used
Borrowed directly from the English word cracker, this term is commonly used in supermarkets and convenience stores to refer to dry, savory biscuits. While 梳打餅 is the more traditional and descriptive term for soda crackers, 克力架 is widely understood as a generic label for various types of crisp, thin biscuits. It carries a slightly more modern or imported feel compared to the more localized 梳打餅.
