So what's the latest word on pretzels? Thoughout the 80s and 90s we heard they were good for you because they were low fat. Then we heard they might not be the best snack for you. And then companies started putting the "no cholesterol" stamp on packages. Are they a good snack or not?
October is National Pretzel Month, and whether you like the little sticks plain or the big soft ones with mustard on top, celebrate with a bag today. Does anyone here make their own pretzels? It's one of those things I've just never thought of doing.
When I was a kid I use to eat the long pretzel rods and pretend they were cigars.
