My wife has become nearly addicted over the last couple years. The Cheese Curls have disappeared at the local grocery stores, but the pretzels are available. Hershey bought Dot's in 2021, but has closed the US plant that produces them, according to this article from 2023. It goes on to state that Hershey has re-acquired a facility in Canada, but does not say that Dot's will be made there:

Does anyone have greater knowledge of what the hell is going on?

We were at the Hershey Experience in Hershey, PA in December 2022 and there was a big marketplace where you could buy all sorts of Hershey’s chocolate and candy and other products. Dot’s Pretzels were heavily promoted there including a cinnamon sugar version I’d never had before and were AWESOME. Have never seen these cheese curls here in PA

Here ya go

Cinnamon sugar pretzels? Please say it ain’t so.

It’s true, and I think they’re pretty good.

Just don't mess with the Southwest pretzels. I will be very angery.

Yes, very much a thing and those along with the Original flavor are dangerous for me to have because I can’t stop!

^^^^^^
Since I dislike sugar and cinnamon, probably not for me.

My current favorite pretzels: Keebler Townhouse FlipSides.
A cracker-pretzel hybrid. Shaped like a cracker, but with a pretzel-like flavor. Very crisp. Commonly available in my grocery stores, and also on Amazon:

So good with a slab of good cheese!

I lean toward the honey-mustard ones, but have never tried the sugar-cinnamon ones.

My personal ranking of Dot’s:

1. Original
2. Cinnamon Sugar
3. Honey Mustard
4. Southwest

I didn't care for the Southwest flavored ones.

Almost all of Dots products are super tasty. If you are watching your salt give them a pass. Other than that not much is better.

I had to give up Dots. Soon after discovering and sharing them here my lab work numbers went to crap.

I can't remember why but I'm boycotting Hershey, I believe it was in response to some WOKE bullshit.
Too bad because I used to like Dot's.

Yeah, me neither. I threw them away before I finished. They were just so disappointing.

I LOVE the honey mustard ones, and the cinnamon ones are pretty good, too. Haven't had the regular yet. I have a very hard time spending $7 for a bag of pretzels. I get them very rarely, and from now on, they will all be honey mustard.

Tried the pretzels and they had way too much salt for me.

MSG makes everything tastier.

Well you’re missing out on the best ones then!

The original tastes like they died a beautiful death being drowned in butter.

I like all that I've tasted but have yet to see the cinnamon sugar.
