Many sources say it originated in southern Germany (where it remains very popular and is known as Brezel); others say it comes from the region of Alsace, France, on the border with Germany. Some say it originated in medieval times, others that it dates back to ancient Rome or even Celtic times. One documented account taken from the book History of Science and Technology (au: Bryan Bunch with Alexander Hellemans) has it that in 610 A.D. "An italian monk invents prezels as a reward to children who learn their prayers. He calls the strips of baked dough, folded to resemble arms crossing the chest, prestiola ("little reward"). Telephone books and other historical records from the early 1900's show that the Pretzel was often referred to as the "Bretzel" in the U.S. at that time..kkbox { position: absolute; left: 2px; top: 2px; padding: 5px; border: 4px solid white; background-color: 211B18; text-align: center; A damn good night!.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Copied from MySpace.com -- Find me on MySpace and be my friend!

VARITIES There are both soft and hard pretzels. Soft pretzels are more traditional. They are best eaten fresh-baked and hot. They are common in Germany; the city of Philadelphia in the United States is also famous for its soft pretzels. In German-speaking Switzerland, thick soft pretzels sliced horizontally are sometimes used to make sandwiches. Hard pretzels are more common than soft pretzels in most of the United States, as they can be mass-produced, packaged and stored. In the United States, hard pretzels are often consumed as a "beer snack." Chocolate-covered hard pretzels are also popular, especially around Christmas time. Pretzels can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many hard pretzels are about 3–4 inches (8–10 cm) wide and 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) tall. However, some companies sell mini-pretzels about a quarter that size. Traditional soft pretzels are about the size of a hand. Hard pretzels are also frequently sold as straight "pretzel sticks." Hard pretzels are also available with a sweet candy coating of chocolate, strawberry and other flavors. A popular variation is "yogurt-covered pretzels", with a coating based on yogurt. Some consumers consider them a healthy snack because of this, but the coating can also contain added fats and sugars.

The annual United States pretzel industry is worth over $550 million. The average American consumes about 1.75 pounds (0.79 kg) of pretzels per year. Southeastern Pennsylvania, with its large ethnic German population, is considered the birthplace of the American pretzel industry and many pretzel bakers are still located in the area. The average Philadelphian consumes about twelve times more pretzels than the national average.[2] Some German bakeries produce a soft bread roll made of pretzel dough called Laugenbrötchen.
