I'm not a big pretzel fan, but when I was in the snack aisle at the grocery store the other day after reading this piece, I was sure to stop at the pretzel section and take note of the product nomenclature. Sure enough, lots of sticks labeled as twists.

I was already going to pay for my subscription but you’ve “twisted” my arm just enough to do it today. Well played. As a Bachman devotee I salute today’s article.
I must admit I was hesitant as s Uni Watch subscriber as to your new direction. I must say you've hooked me with these wonderful articles and will stay on as a paid subscriber. I can't wait for all the twists and turns(sorry) of your future musings. Thanks for making my day a little brighter and for providing some good food for thought(sorry, again)
I am trying to decide with outline shape seems the most satisfying. One seems more heart shaped while the other is more of a winged shape. I feel like I have grown up more familiar with a heart shape so I am probably conditioned to prefer that.
The morphing of true pretzel twists into what we see now is reminiscent of shoulder stripes on football uniforms. They used to go all the way around the sleeves; then eventually they were more like dashes instead of stripes.
Hards!
“The pretzel industry’s pre-extrusion days” is a phrase I shall cherish for days.

But wait…if pretzels are twists, and twists are sticks, then what do we call the sticks that are not twisted?
In any case, now that I’m aware of the difference, I will only buy authentically twisted pretzels from here on out.

Just want to call out the excellent phrase, "alternate pretzel-verse." Thank you for your continued creativity and specificity, Paul!
