  1. This lady just said: people stop tog et pretzel mid labor. Ur capping fam 😂😂😂😂 I’M fucking telling you 😂

    1. I know it sounds absolutely wild, but before my mother had my youngest brother, she MADE my father stop at her favorite bagel place before they were even close to opening. My dad knowing the guy was there early morning getting everything ready for the day, knocked on the door and begged the guy for 2 bagels and explained the situation lol. The guy brought out a bag with a dozen bagels and said congratulations and thank you for the smile I’ll have for the rest of the day knowing I was your priority stop.

    1. ⁠@doziergamesMaybe look into it then? Flour can differentiate wildly, if the flour is whitened with bleach for example or the milling type.
      Water also has different nutrient contents, so a harder more lime heavy one tastes harsher. Yeast is a whole different story with different cultures resulting in different tastes.
      So maybe research topics before commenting?

  2. She’s really trying to say pregnant women go into labor and instead of going directly to the hospital they stop for pretzels… Talk about delusional

    1. @victornieves1794 I highly doubt she’s trying to be funny. And if so YIKES she’s gonna need lots of practice

    1. Read my mind🤣🤣 chief operating officer also gave me a good chuckle like you make pretzels

  3. ITS calle Brezen, Brezn, Breze…but Not Prezzel😂😂 pls Stop this nonsens

  4. “Our pretzels are the lifeline of this nation. Babies eat our pretzels before immediately standing up and walking around. Leonardo Da Vinci ate one of our pretzels before he painted the Mona Lisa.” -Chief Operating Officer Bonnett, 2024

  5. When a so-called “local pretzel shop” has a COO… no. You’re a restaurant manager with a degree in yaponomics.

    Philly has plenty of great food and I’m sure they make a good pretzels but no.

  6. I’m originally from South Philly & I miss pretzels more than anything …im in Arizona now . can I get some delivered or here
