I was under the impression that all communion bread/wafers/crackers/whatever were at best, bland and perhaps a little stale. But I’ve also never taken communion so 🤷♂️
So I think Catholics use a particular brand of Jeez-it that is the wafer that you’re thinking of. Everyone else just uses whatever (like in this post).
The same is also true for the wine. Growing up we had grape juice instead of wine and honestly the bread and grape juice combo was pretty good. Like bread is bread, which is almost always a great choice, but I’ve never been a big fan of grape juice. But a little dip of grape juice in bread… Not bad.
I also don’t know how strict any of this really is. Like would a grape jelly sandwich made with Wonder Bread count as long as you gave it the proper blessing? I feel like it would.

Once jeebuz enters the tummy, you might speak in tongues or experience transcendental explosion diarrhea.
It may, or may not, be a sign.
We basically had bland croutons in my white-bread (heh) Presbyterian church. And grape juice shooters.
