    at least they wouldn't 
    get smashed or squashed 
    during a long trip,
    and would keep out the rats 
    on a long ship ride?
         oh right
    Rats eat through wood.

    The term has its origins in the country stores of the late 19th-century US, where the barrels of soda crackers ended up being the site of informal discussions between customers. The philosophizing taking place over these cracker barrels would have been, presumably, of the plain and simple sort.

    I think they put the slaves in the barrels and the crackers drove the ships.

    No.  There were actually soda crackers in the barrels.
