      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.

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

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

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