Q: How do you eat them without getting your hands sticky?

submitted by unknown - 5 years ago
  • A: Eat the pretzels by picking them up with your forefinger and thumb, then insert them directly into your mouth. Thus, your hand(s) will not become sticky. If it does, resort to chopsticks.

    submitted byCynthiaTheNonInfluencer - 5 years ago
  • A: Sticky?! My hands don't ever get sticky and I eat them nearly every day! But if you're worried about it, just turn the bag up and pour them directly into your mouth. No hands needed!

    submitted byLinzNick - 5 years ago
  • A: Many ways 1) You can have a slave gimp feed them to you. 2) Stick your head in the bag like how a horse would eat oats. 3) Cover your hands in vegetable oil before eating. 4) Wear gloves. 5) Use tongs? 6) Chopsticks could work.

    submitted byDB - 5 years ago
  • A: Good afternoon! Our pretzels are coated with our top-secret seasoning, they shouldn't leave your hands too sticky. If they do, we can promise that our tasty pretzels will be worth it :)

Q: What is so magical besides the "top-secret seasoning and no-mess fingers" that makes a 16 oz bag of pretzels cost an exhorbitant $7.89?

submitted by caroline - 2 years ago
  • A: Want the cost to go down ?Stop buying at the exorbitant price

    submitted byDavid - 1 year ago
  • A: Thanks for your question. We make every effort to provide our consumers with the best possible value in relation to the cost of manufacturing our products. We will share your feedback with our team.

Q: Are these spicy pretzels. Bought some at a home show but don't remember the name. Hope this is the same.

submitted by Pat S - 4 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Dot's Original Seasoned pretzels are made with our top-secret seasoning blend. This is savory pretzel, with a hint of spice!

Q: Packaging says Dot created her pretzels in her home kitchen. Did she use the same ingredients then that are now in her pretzels such as Corn Syrup, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) & corn oil?

submitted by MattJ - 3 years ago
  • A: Thanks for asking about the use of specific ingredients in our signature flavors. MSG is an FDA-approved flavor enhancer that is used to boost the savory characteristics of our Dot's Pretzels.

    Anniecat - 9 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Every so often I get a bag of these that has prices as hard as pencils. I bit down one one and cracked my eye tooth on it. $1250.00 and a crown later,come wondering why there's no quality control on these. You're making bank with the ridiculous price. All g with hard pieces, the resealable bag doesn't always reclose, and the texture of the pretzels is, in addition to being hard as a rock, off somehow every few purchases.

    Why did you change the seasoning recipe and the quality of the pretzels. Will not purchase again. Not the same quality of product that the Velva plant made.

    Not the Same. Hershey, cheapened the recipe!

    Dots Pretzels are not the same since Hershey bought them. There is less flavor than the original Dots Velva, ND. Hershey closed the Velva plant in 2023 and now it’s just a corporate conglomerate brand. I won’t buy Dots again after Hershey ruined the recipe. Probably to save a dime thanks to accountants.

    I had been avoiding the Dot's pretzel line because they always felt more expensive than say Utz. However I'm finding I now regret that, to me they are like pretzels with the same seasoning as the "Bold" Chex mix bags. They are good, crunchy, and AMAZING with hummus.

    I tried these for the first time, and wasn't aware that there was cayenne pepper in them. Nowhere on the packaging lists it as an ingredient; in fact, the packaging just says "spices." I've heard such good things about these only to be disappointed after eating two. My face and throat are itchy, and my eyes are watery. I wouldn't have picked up a package if I had known.

    Just bought a bag, and I am still impressed with the flavor! Although, there is not nearly enough seasoning. My fingers used to be covered in seasoning whenever I ate them. Now, there is barely anything, and the twists lack that impact they used to have.

    I love Dots, especially when it was owned by Dot herself. I am not happy with Hershey closing down manufacturing in North Dakota and laying off everyone there. Makes me want to eat something that’s not Hershey, very shady.
