Graham crackers are digestive biscuits? Suddenly the notion of s'mores makes a whole lot more sense.

You're right, that does make a lot more sense! I always wondered about those crazy americans making sweet treats with what I assumed were salada-like salty crackers.

It was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture about the adverse effects of masturbation or "self-abuse" as he called it. One of his many theories was that one could curb their sexual appetite by eating bland foods. Another man who held this belief was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of the corn flakes cereal.
