PRETZEL FUN FACTS

Did you know pretzels date back to monks in the 6th century? Their iconic twist was meant to resemble folded arms in prayer — and the shape stuck. From saving Vienna during the Turkish siege to becoming a beloved American snack, pretzels have a delicious history worth celebrating.
