Pretzel Comparison























Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided Twists
These are very different from the regular design of the pretzel. I'm not sure where the original "braid" of a pretzeld came from, but it's pretty standard today. I happen to like the pretzel sticks more than the traditional fold. They're easier to consume, and I like that the aren't cliche. They are of a lighter color than normal pretzels, and have more character. The salt is not as visible, for the background color is lighter, thus blending in with the salt.

The "regular" pretzel.
This design is obviously one for the ages, for it has sustained its design for a VERY long time. It is safe to say that the standard shape of a pretzel will ever change. While it's design has nothing to do with the way it should be consumed, it still holds a pretty significant part in the meaning on a pretzel.


One is not better than the other, and it is a matter of opinion.
