Okay, EW. Auntie Annes makes some buttery, bready-type things, but I would NEVER classify them as pretzels. The distinguishing characteristic of a soft pretzel is its tough skin, made that way by first cooking in water, then baking, similar to bagels. They don't do that. They serve bread twists, made flavorful either by butter, salt, some combination of spices, or some combination of any or all of them. NOT the pretzel, NOT the pretzel!!
