<p>Jgoldberg: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:643px-Pretzel.jpg|right|thumb|A modern factory produced pretzel.]]<br /> A '''Pretzel''' is a baked snack made of dough that usually has a knot-like shape. Pretzels are sold in many different varieties such as the soft dough pretzel, and smaller hard versions of the knot-like soft dough pretzels. While pretzels have been eaten all over the world, Americans also consume pretzels as a snack food.<br /> <br /> Pretzels originated as a Lenten food, and the crossed portions of the pretzel represent praying hands{{fact}}<br /> <br /> On rare occasions, a pretzel can place pressure on the carotid artery, resulting in vasovagal syncope, commonly known as 'choking on a pretzel'.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bakery products]]</div>
