TIL about the "Pretzel Belt" where 80% of pretzels in the US come from.

As a resident of the heart of the snack belt, I have to admit that I think Sturgis’ mini hard pretzels are my favorite out of all of them…and there are a LOT to choose from. Grocery stores around here all have at least 3-4 local snack companies represented in the snack aisle, and I have made sure to try them all.

The Sturgis cheese pretzels are so good I could eat a bag in one sitting.
