Today is a very special day.

It is a day honoring one of the best snacks to ever grace this earth.

It is a snack that is best made in this very city — the city of brotherly love.

And if you think about it, there could not be a better-designed snack to represent this city.

With all the twists and turns we have in this city, and no I’m not just talking about the Schuylkill Expressway!

Not to mention, we can be a bit salty, especially when two of our sports teams fall just short of bringing a championship to our city and a parade down Broad Street!

If you have not guessed what snack I am talking about just yet, without further ado…

I am talking about the pretzel!

Today is national pretzel day!

And you better believe I am celebrating!

Thanks to our good friends over at Philly Pretzel Factory for dropping off a ton of different pretzel treats over at the studios!

Man, is their stuff good, too!

They dropped us off their traditional pretzels, their pretzel bites, which they call Rivets, and pretzel dogs!

Plus, they dropped off a bunch of great dipping sauces as well!

My favorite is the buttercream dipping sauce!

It is perfect!

And you better believe, when it comes to mustard, I am a traditional yellow mustard guy, as opposed to spicy brown mustard!

They also dropped off their brownie batter dipping sauce and that is also fantastic!

If you guys are in the neighborhood of a local Philly Pretzel Factory, I definitely suggest stopping by and picking something up to celebrate this day!

I know I am enjoying it so far, and the day is not even over yet!

I might go back for seconds…. Thirds… and possibly even fourths if there are still some pretzels left!

We’ll see!
