You know, it's tough explaining what this site is about to someone. We certainly cover the entire gamut of life here, whether intentionally or not. Pretzel rods, by gar, that takes me back. As a kid in Milwaukee, we had a liquor store just down the street, and they had pretzel rods in that little round glass case. A penny a piece. They are still made in Ohio, bought out by Frito-Lay, but I don't think has near the sales they once had. Why? Public enemy #1,,SALT.
Snyders made a good salty Bavarian style, when I had teeth to crunch them, and Rold Gold was always there. Unsalted pretzels goes again everything we hold dear, and now, all you can find is low salt "specialty" pretzels,,,meh. A lot of things I took for granted in the Midwest, are not available here in Colorado. Northern Pasties, many kinds of candy, fresh cheese curds, potatoes chips too. I used to eat BAGS of chips, Mr. Gs, or Mrs. Howes were my favorite. Today, all potatoe chips make me sick, I heard it's the oil used today. Twinkies too. Used to love Twinkies, and were not available for a while, the Smucker Jelly Co bought them from Hostess( for $5.6BILLION dollars) but not the same. Wonder bread too, I used to love Wonder bread, can't find it. We ate a lot of crap growing up, Remember Pic-Nik shoestring potatoes? Found them in the baking aisle. A quick check on Wallys website shows, Rold Gold sticks are available, but the rods only are from Snyders or Putz, oops, I mean Utz and hardly any salt to speak of.
TTR,,,pretzel rods,,,what next?

I noticed Twinkies aren't as good as they used to be. ( Unlike myself). Not as soft and not as much creme

back in the early 70's we'd roll some good Gold, it was hard to find back then.

You do know that the creme was actually sweetened whipped artery clogging, life reducing vegetable shortening,,mmm, not sure it's the same today.
