Today I’m going to be speaking to you about something very important, something very near and dear to my heart: pretzels. Pretzels are quite simply one of the best snack foods out there – they’re delicious, nutritious, and are just fun. Some people claim that they aren’t fun, that they “taste like burnt cardboard that someone spilled too much salt on” but we don’t listen to those people, because those people are wrong, those people fail to see the true greatness of pretzels. Pretzels can be experienced in a plethora of ways. Even if the classic, ballpark variety isn’t your thing, that’s alright. Pretzels come in hard and soft varieties, there are sourdough and honey wheat pretzels, there are pretzels with cinnamon and sugar and there are pretzels covered in cheese. The number of things you can do with pretzels is limitless. Pretzels are so versatile, that they don’t even need to be just a snack food, they can be more. Pretzels can be a meal, and in some places they have been, in Germany for instance, pretzels can be an important part of breakfast, not just a snack. But pretzels aren’t just food, pretzels are an integral part of who we are. On Super Bowl Sunday, Americans consume four million pounds of pretzels. It was during a football game …show more content…
They were brought here by hard working immigrants, immigrants who would become known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, not because they were actually Dutch, but because they weren’t understood. But this didn’t stop them, nor did it stop the pretzel. At first, pretzels in this country were created in small batches in small towns in the countryside, but soon, just like the rest of the country, they were swept up in the wave of industrialization, swept into big cities, and were popularized amongst the masses. Pretzels are many things: they are the epitome of the American dream, they are a delicious snack, but most importantly, they’re just straight up
Since 1928, the H. B. Reese company's been making the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter known as the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. The significance of this artifact in the american culture and history is, without a doubt, vastly significant. As a confection, both peanut butter and chocolate pack a strong punch in their own right. They are often main ingredients in cookies, cakes, ice creams, and other desserts and treats.They're familiar… there’s something instinctively American and close to home about them both. It is no wonder they need very little persuasion of the American people to become the number one most popular candy in the United States by a wide margin.

Formerly located in Newburyport, Massachusetts, the Josiah Bent Bakery, is credited for the creation of the saltine cracker as far back as 1801. However, it was not until 1876 that the first name brand saltine cracker, Premium, rose to popularity. Major advertising for Premium did not begin until the 1930's, during the Great Depression, with the famous slogan, "Polly want a cracker." Today, consumers count on Premium to ease hangovers and nausea (Hiskey 1). On the other hand, Ritz crackers did not make its debut until 1935. Named after the Riz hotel, this
1. This informative speech on “The Cause of Homelessness “is very Inform able and worth listening to, because in today’s economy it could be you or me. Some seem to think homelessness is choice. I find this speech relevant to the world I live in today, due to the high unemployment rate, declining job market, and the economic hardships that families are enduring. This topic is not a broad one, but yet can be spoke of in depth due to the fact I see many homeless people but never thought it would be me until I seen a family friend who has lost everything, this is what made me more aware that it is not just a choice and any day it could be me. So when you see

Skidmore Boddlebrooks yearned for fame and wealth, just like his brother, he claimed credit for inventing the pretzel and fed it to his brother. Additionally, Skidmore was not honest because the pretzel had been invented long ago. "'It's a new snack food I've been working on. I call it a pretzel.'" Manchester had already known that the pretzel was not a novelty, and that it had been invented long long ago. . "Now, Manchester was an educated man with a passion for junk food, so he was well aware that the pretzel had been invented more than a thousand years before by a lonely European

“Although many health authorities insist that there is no such thing as junk food, consumers find it a useful term for distinguishing nourishing food from products whose chief appeal is fun, convenience, and addictive taste; ‘bet you can't eat just one’ ”(Junk Food). Americans are spending about $4.6 billion a year on potato chips, and 23.5 billion a year on candy and gum. 46 Percent of adult Americans eat out on a typical day, and one third of them choose fast food. That is because the fast food industry has slowly become one of the symbols of American culture and is spreading to other cultures as well: McDonalds has 26,000 locations in 119 countries, Pizza Hut has more than 10,000 in 86 countries, and Subway has 14,500 in 75 countries. Commercials, signs, and huge advertisements are pushing junk food at us every day; people cannot even go to the grocery store without candy bars being lined up right by the checkout. The junk food industry realizes how appealing it can be. When a person is in a rush, they can easily eat a large meal without having to make a lot of decisions, work, dress up, or get out of their car. The speed and convenience fit Americans’ pressured lifestyles. It does not fit, however, to our health and wellness. A fast food meal, such as a Burger King Double Whopper with cheese, contains 965 calories, more than double the amount of fat, and as much as 750 grams too much sodium
