Something tells me even the off brand version is still pretty expensive cuz pretzels in general are pretty pricey, though I'm way more surprised there is an off-brand version where you are. There's literally no off-brand option where I live. It's only dots and snyders.
Yeah they added some ingredient that's banned over here. It was the only food I ever bought from Amazon. If you're in UK, farmfoods sell a good substitute called munchkings pretzel crush
No idea what happened. I used to buy them occasionally, and then they were no longer available. So they still exist. I thought that this was caused by it to be only a short-term thing or a trial run.
