You can say that pretzels are only good with beer but not so fast buddy!
I have had pretzels, those tasty salted and crunchy twists of pure satisfaction by themselves, and they are something you can keep for a long time without them going stale on you.
I had this bag of pretzels for over 6 months and they are still as good as the day I bought them.
Birds like them too I suppose.
This is one survival food that costs hardly nothing and is good dipped in mustard, peanutbutter, or to have with a bowl of good old homemade chili.
To learn about the origins of the common pretzel take a look at this article from the link below.
I prefer the pretzel that has a good solid crunch to it. 
Today I found out the origin of pretzels. A common origin story of pretzels is that they were created by a monk around 610 in Italy. According to The History of Science and Technology, the monk baked strips of dough that he folded into a shape resembling a

Sure would be nice to have one with soft cream cheese. I also favor an onion bagel right about now.

@lookatdesktop I love the soft pretzals. But they are very fattening.

@wolfgirl569 , Yep, but every once in a while, you know, not all the time. I sometimes wish I had a large chocolate chip cookie or toasted onion bagel with cream cheese spread over it. Yum yum. But yes, very caloric.

I want to try one of those big ones, salted and crunchy and chewy. I bet they are the best.

They are good for a quick snack. I like them and I want to share them with the birds but my wife is against me doing that.

@resukill22 , because it might encourage rodents at night or stray animals.

Well, they are made many different ways. If you ever get a chance, give one a try and let me know how it tasted. Have a good one.

I am a pretzel fan as well. Does Frito Lay have any outlet stores down there? In Central Pennsylvania they have some pretzel factory outlets where you can get like a huge bag of seconds for maybe 2 bucks.

Don't really know, but yea, that would be pretty cool. Hot pretzels right out of the oven.

Well, it is a fact that pretzels are made from flour, and they are a high carbohydrate. So you don't want to eat a lot of them at any given time. They are a snack food and not a mainstay food.

I don't think we who need to diet should indulge too often on snack food but moreover not to eat a lot of what is actually JUNK FOOD. I think they make yogurt coated pretzels and chocolate coated ones. I guess, but moreover, a once in a while large chewy hot ready made pretzel is actually a better once in a while snack choice.
