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

Their jalepeno ones are fantastic.

Why don't you just flash some crack at a narcs anonymous meeting?

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Psst. Now, don't give away all the good ideas. Lol.

[–] CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] lemmy12369@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Underrated, and over looked by all

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

Too bad they're always so crushingly expensive

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.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I both love these, but then also find them disgusting after eating a bunch, every time

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (4 children)

For some reason, they have vanished from European markets some time ago.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which ones? I'm looking for these in canada

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

These taste the best:

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I know there are alternatives, but they actually taste different.

But primarily I was wondering why they vanished from the shelves.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Read the ingredients to know why

They are tasty but deadly

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Difficult to read when they are no longer available.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It only shows the nutrition facts for me, not the ingredient list.

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...

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No need to shout 😃

it was a copy / paste from their site

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I know. That's why I added the 😃.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

banned over here

Soooooo maybe that should indeed be a reason to stop eating them?

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

We also ban women from using the womens bathroom. Government's tapped mate.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll look out for them in June. Are they sold at Tesco's?

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure, only ever seen them at farmfoods

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oh, farmfoods is a chain, or something? Have not seen one yet.
