| Had my grocery getter pick up a bag of Rold Gold Recipe No.5 Savory Butter pretzel twists. They run a $1 cheaper than Dots. Bottom line is that they're okay but not worth the premium price. And compared to Dot's original... no contest.

| I buy the 1.5 oz bags of Dot’s Homestyle Pretzels. I take a bag with me to Shake Shack and eat it with my Shack Burger – tasty, and less calorific than fries. Just a couple of hours ago I ordered another 20-pack from Amazon ($26.99). These little bags make a nice gift for neighbors and merchants that I like. They’re always appreciated.

| A new Dot's treat to savor. Cheese CurlsA couple of weeks ago I was at my local Ace Hardware (the only place selling Dot's). In addition to a bag of Southwest Pretzels I picked up a couple bags of Cheese Curls. AWESOME. I stopped in Ace yesterday, none to be had. I guess I am not alone in my assessment.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? |

| Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep an eye out for them.

| I don't even like bagged pretzels. Tried Dots because of this thread and I'm pleasantly surprised. Found them at Safeway and they're a regular purchase now.

| Just saw some at a local specialty store here and am anxious to try the Dots out and see how they compare.
If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. |

Epic fail. On my wife's part. They were excellent. HOWEVER, she had the nerve to let my teenager try some, and he's hooked and there went the bags while I was away at work.

Savor the limelight
| Today, I tried the Snyder's and found them to be a bland, mealy textured, pale imitation of Dot's. It's like the difference between Campbell's Clam Chowder and Tony's Clam Chowder. I have 7/8's of a bag left and no desire to have another. |

Get my pies outta the oven!

| I gave the manager of my upscale grocery a small bag of Dot’s Pretzels to try. And now, by George, he’s stocking them. I no longer have to suffer the many broken pretzels that result from Amazon delivery! A good result from that little gift.
