In 2009, Snyder's of Hanover will celebrate their 100th anniversary -- congratulations Snyder's! However, if they want to be around for another 100 years, they might want to consider dropping this product. While you certainly do get a hint of butter aroma upon opening the bag, it is quickly overwhelmed by the aroma of palm oil, and no wonder. Check the ingredients of these "Butter Sesame" pretzels and you'll see that there isn't any -- butter, that is. There is butterfat and natural flavors, but no actual butter. The package suggests piling on smoked salmon or chicken salad for serving -- we can only hope you don't try either. Let's just say we don't think this flavor would be complementary to either one. Lastly, we'd like to see these pretzels in a resealable bag for storage. Available in other flavors. Retails for $3.49/18-oz. bag.
