        A Brezel has to be eaten fresh. Once it’s older than 30 minutes it gets stale and stops being a proper Brezel!

        My guess is they think you only have the small crunchy ones in the US like these:

          To be fair, when people in the US think of a “pretzel”, those are the ones they think of. You can buy big bags of those in any supermarket. If you want to get a big, bready pretzel, you have to go to a restaurant.

            Here in Philly soft pretzels are everywhere, they’re a staple. I think usually those little hard ones are just a snack for kids?

            A restaurant? What about your local bakery? Laugengebäck is amazing, you should eat more of it!

            Americans usually label the small crunchy ones as pretzels and the big real ones as “soft pretzels” when the former is (apparently) an abomination
