Pretzels

FOOD FIGHT

As one who's eaten at least a million pretzels in his life, I take a certain interest in "one of Slashfood's biggest taste tests to date."

Alas, I'm pretty disappointed with the results: Four of the twelve winners are Bachman products—a line I've stopped buying. The judges put a couple Utz products in the lower half of the list, and they're certainly deserving.

I'm surprised nothing from Herr's made the list. Moreover, it doesn't surprise me at all that Frito-Lay's hideous Rold Gold line is nowhere to be found in the list. Given its products' pervasiveness, its competitors would be in trouble if the Dallas company had any idea what a pretzel was supposed to taste like.
