Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Snyder's Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces
January 2nd, 2011 • 22 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Well I’m sorry for all the loud chewing, but Snyder’s Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces don’t come with a volume control button. [insert irritated eye roll here]
These sourdough hard pretzel pieces resemble the aftermath of a jackhammer gone lunatic in the concrete streets, but that’s nowhere near the highlight of what makes them so special. It’s the flavor, people. They really do taste just like a plate of hot buffalo wings, but minus the grease and the mess, and that flaming-burning sensation of the lips.
Have you ever suffered from fried hot wings failure? Like when you vowed to eat only one or two wings, but instead you gnawed on eight? Depending on where you eat, one measly little hot wing will cost you between 50 to 100 calories. So that’s anywhere from 400 to 800 calories total for 8 bitch-azz wings you never meant to eat.
“Just like hot wings! The flavor is so precise, you forget you’re eating pretzels.” ~Health-hater Husband
Instead of some meaty wings, I dare you to try gnawing on Hot Buffalo Wings Pretzel Pieces at your next party or sports night event. You’ll get the same delicious, wingy experience, but for way less calories. But if you don’t plan on any buffalo-eating whatsoever, at least consider the pot-bellied man in your life. Help limit the further expansion of his stomach by giving him a pretzel-wing instead.
Warning: Stuff your face in moderation. I had to literally rip the bag out of my own hand to stop from chewing. But, err, that left the bag in my other hand. FAIL.

Squirrel raved about these when we sent them along to school. The little animals adore them, but I can’t be in the same room because 1. I CAN’T have them [brats] 2. They are loud as sh*t.
If you are going to eat something I can’t have then be quiet about it. It is a near impossibility with these things.
I also miss the sourdough with mustard that they make.
Sigh. Salt is a curse. A CURSE I tell you.
::off to gnaw on a celery stick. or my arm.:: ;D

SkippyMomma: Greedy Baby is assaulting people ’round here with her deathly arm swing. Shall I send her over to take care of those little animals? ;p

@Josie, I will happily take Greedy Baby off your hands – for the headstand alone – but I think my girls would prefer you send Greedy Kid #2 along instead.
Squirrel says she can wait [until he is a bit older - she was quite disappointed he was younger than her] and I can feasibly lock the Porcupine [Wallene] in the closet until she is old enough to date. They are in love. I kid you not.
[Squirrel and Porcupine are why I called the "animals" on here - we renamed Wallene after she hit the wall. ;D]
But please…send both..or all four. hee – it is getting lonely here in the pond and your kids are great!

hahahaha! I just read him your comment. Greedy KId #2 has just defied the laws of dark-toned skin. He’s blushing. LOL!

You owe me oxygen. Or your son.

I’ll take the air. We are giggling like fools.

These should be illegal, thats how good I think they are. I only allow myself to buy them a few times a year since I have absolutely zero portion control around though, sadness.

I’m not a wing fan, but I do love Snyder’s pretzels. My favorite are the honey mustard or the ranch.

I don’t think I’d be safe around these, or rather they wouldn’t be safe around me

Don’t ask me to cook you no wangs. They’ll be golden-crispy on the outside, raw on the inside. Dang.

My exboyfriend works for Herr’s as the head flavor creator. On our recent trip to Delaware, we paid homage by purchasing the Baby Back Ribs Chips. Two words: Eeeee. Youuuu.
Nasty. Although I’m a sucker for Buffalo Wings and salty snacks, I’ll avoid these too.

Can we get Health Hater Husband’s quote on the Snyder’s package?
Pretzels are yummy. I like really crunchy snacks.

My husband is completely addicted to these.
I like them too…but it’s more a hug sort of love.
