I, EarlJam, love pretzels. But I only love pretzels with one condiment, mustard. Give me a jumbo (yes, I said that word), sized pretzel with salt and mustard and I'm as happy as a pig in slop. I am not unique in my love for pretzels and mustard. There are many like me in this respect.

In the United States, you can find almost any pre-made food combination out there, but there is one combo I have not found: Pretzels with mustard.

May I propose here, that some food company come out with a frozen Jumbo Pretzel product that has mustard pre-inserted into its interior? It may sound gross, but it is not nearly as gross or as unhealthy as Hot Pockets or Sausage with Spoonfuls O' Gravy. It's a simple thing that I would purchase in a heartbeat. Putting mustard on TOP of the pretzel allows for spillage all over the shirt. If the mustard is pre-inserted within the pretzel, well, that would be awesome.

Thoughts? Would you purchase this product? This product's inspiration comes in part from watching the Braves on TV today.

1. You know I hate mustard. That was well covered (pun intended) in the hot dog thread last year.

2. I've seen that mustard and pretzel combo advertised in the last couple of weeks. Sorry to burst your bubble.

There's a couple in Chicago who've been selling pretzels in a variety of flavors and stiffed with various fillings for about 15 years. They have a retail location in Chicago, sell through a number of grocery stores and on QVC. They don't currently have a pretzel stuffed with mustard.

If this works for a doughnut, it should work with a pretzel, too.

I like some Diet Coke and pretzels almost as much as I like beer and pretzels .

The trouble with the doughnut is that the customers don't like it despite the major promotions. Turns out two good things don't always work well together.

Actually, that's not surprising to hear. Cheerwine cream filling doesn't sound very appealing to me either.

I dislike both pretzels and mustard so I am not help. And I can't believe you used that rhymes with dumbo word around here!

Cheerwine is very cherry/berry flavored. I'd think it would be delicious, similar to a berry flavored Bear Claw, which I had on the trip home the other day as a midday snack, purchased at some convenience store we'd stopped at!

I like pretzels...and mustard but I don't want my mustard in my pretzel. I prefer to 'dress' it myself.

Pretzels (at least he big soft ones) are best served warm....warm mustard...

Initial response has been that it's too sweet and that the chocolate icing doesn't blend well with the Cheerwine concentrate and creme filling.

Get rid of the choco icing. Just the standard sugary glaze would be perfect!

Combos (the delicious snack from the fine people at Mars) used to make a mustard pretzel variety that I loved as a kid. It has been discontinued, but there is precedent.

I don't work for Krispy Kreme. I merely reported information about the product and how it was received locally.

I am a lover of pretzels with mustard, but often don't get around to the mustard part.

Hmmmmm. How about a better context. He who rhymes with Dumbo, covered in mustard and salt, then taken out to the New Mexico desert in July/August, with each limb tied securely to four separate cacti? Sprinkle raw cuts of meat and place on strategic parts of his body. Watch the fun ensue!

Doing a combo of pretzels and mustard, not frozen, such as the cheese and crackers, seems so much simpler. It would also display better, in my opinion, than in the frozen section. They could be in the same section as Lance Crackers. Not frozen combo could be a big seller in the quick stop stores.

Getting better, but not quite there yet.

Okay, add baby oil on a hot sunny day to his entire body. Take a generic Kroger razor and dry-shave him (before the oil) from head to toe. Marinate entire body with Aqua Velva, then apply lotion, butter, mustard and raw pieces of meat. Add salt. Ten feet away, place a 1987-issue Boom Box in the sand, with a cassette player providing continuing loops of WHAM's "The Jitterbug." Using two medium-sized George Foreman grills and a 75-mile long extension chord, clamp one grill over each foot and turn setting to high. All the while, using a makeshift crane, a 10 pound cinder block shall dangle over his privates by a frayed roped that is, with the aid of a properly positioned magnifying glass using the sun, slowly, but most certainly, losing its weight-bearing capacity one burned off strand at a time. Not to mention the cobras.

Better?

We buy a pretzel bit that has honey mustard and onion baked onto it. My wife and kids love them. Not quite the same, I know.

I would argue, however, that just filling a food with something in NO way prevents spillage. Just look at the jelly filled doughnut. ;)
