they have to be careful. they are walking a fine line between making a pretzel and something that resembles a turd. we've been conditioned to recognize the normal pretzel shape as food. most other things of that color and diameter resemble turds

Yeah you don't want your dining experience to resemble a Jackass skit.

Needs more salt and more Curly.

I think the pretzel is a cute idea, though I'd be more inclined to go for the Dingers.

A blaze of yellow mustard would help to lower the crapitudinousness of that snack...

I totally disagree. I think the salt is pretty much a distinguishing characteristic. Now if they start stirring corn kernels in with the pretzel batter, you may have a point....

some people do like theirs without salt, i think

It does sort of look like a dog just couldn't find the right spot or maybe was busy tracking a squirrel.

Almond pretzels like Auntie Annes would be bad

I like the pretzels from street vendors in NYC. Warmed over charcoal with a mixture of good old carbon monoxide nothing better.

It's a pretzel thread! Pretzels are good with IPA's, right?

the smell outside yankee stadium of what i think are pretzels is one of the most recongnizable smells stashed in my brain. i dont know what it is. like burning salt or something

Nat of the Living Dead · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2008, 01:46:14 pm »

How about golden Curly W funnel cake with cherry and/or strawberry topping and white powder sugar?

That would encompass our color scheme.

haha, that was exactly what i thought when i saw the picture of the pretzel! they definitely need to define the shape a little more.

that would be a brilliant idea for the park to have an auntie anne's concession stand. cinnamon sugar > all other flavors.

Svrluga comments on pretzel logic:

"Some of you have noted some of this -- and at some point, I'll get you some more pics, though nothing terribly exciting -- but it's worth regurgitating here. (And speaking of regurgitating: I ate the Curly W pretzel, and it was quite good, and some of you have sick minds and I never thought of it as anything other than a pretzel, so shame on you.)"

Too bad he wasn't able to employ this

nospinzone1 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2008, 05:05:22 pm »

BOTTOM LINE WITH ME: I DO NOT LIKE PRETZELS NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE OR FLAVOR.
