The thing about pretzels.

Every few weeks I go to the local grocery and buy a bunch of prepackaged lunches that I eat over the course of a week or two. Yesterday morning was such an occasion. This time I had been craving some pretzels. You know, the little bite size ones that are more of a pretzel lump than anything else. So, in addition to my usual haul,I bought a bag of them that was appropriately named "the pounder" and then went to work. I ate these pretzels on and off for the entire length of my shift. I am pretty much done with pretzels for now. I figure that the bag could now be renamed " the less than half a pounder". So, the thing about pretzels and so many other things, (especially in the realm of snack foods) is this: Does one really need anything that is named "the pounder"? I guess the answer to this particular quandry is this. Good thing pretzels take a long time to go bad. Of course, I will probably keep eating them anyway.
