Example of a great snack. These were my favorite pretzels at one point. Currently craving.

    Pretzels so hard you worry about cracking a tooth while eating them. But the taste is so good, you just say “fuck it”

    Whoever invented this is a business genius.

    Take the broken pretzel pieces from your assembly line, coat them in 5¢ of seasoning, and charge double the price.

    I’m not even mad, because they taste so fucking good.

        Something tells me even the off brand version is still pretty expensive cuz pretzels in general are pretty pricey, though I’m way more surprised there is an off-brand version where you are. There’s literally no off-brand option where I live. It’s only dots and snyders.

          The off brand is blander but still has a kick if I find it again I will post. Dollar store quality tho. I am just not really picky and I’m too poor.

      Yeah it’s the weirdest thing, like if they’re poisonous and your body rejects then after about a handful.

      But they’re soooooo good

      Actually that is why they were my favorite. I could only eat a few. They were my only junk food at the time and I lost weight.

      Not this brand, but I find them very easily in Germany. At least 3 different brands are available at the grocery stores near me.

      Yeah they added some ingredient that’s banned over here. It was the only food I ever bought from Amazon. If you’re in UK, farmfoods sell a good substitute called munchkings pretzel crush

                No need to shout 😃

                Hmm. Canola oil in food?

                Sodium hydroxide is E524 and works as an acid regulator. Not something people expect in food, but used quite often, e.g. to counteract hydrochloric acid used to peel fruits.

                Looks like HSP (hydrolized soy protein) could be the issue. I think I remember it to be a potential carcinogen, so the FDA would permit it until people can prove they died from it…

      Oh, no. That sucks. Is there a bad ingredient in them, or something? I buy off brand

        No idea what happened. I used to buy them occasionally, and then they were no longer available. So they still exist. I thought that this was caused by it to be only a short-term thing or a trial run.
