  1. Dot’s Pretzels are indeed tasty and I love snacking on them, but I laugh every time I read the story on the label.. “Dot’s Pretzels are a special family snack created many years ago by Dot in her home kitchen.” followed by the ingredient list. I like to imagine Dot whipping up a fresh batch on a cold North Dakota day, tossing in a bit of MSG and calcium lactate to see how it tastes… running a new recipe past the kids with an extra touch of Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin and Folic Acid… and finally figuring out the perfect amount of Maltodextrin to perfect the recipe. Hah!

    1. Pretty simple; the difference between making a pound of it for the family that they will immediately consume…or making thousands of pounds that need to have the shelflife to hold up through the supply chain and on store shelves.
