Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And a random online poll asked people, do you eat the salt at the bottom of the pretzel bag?

Speaker A:

And a third of people said yes.

Speaker A:

The other two thirds said no.

Speaker A:

I guess it's possible that some people just ate some of the salt while pinching a little bit of the pretzel crumbs at the bottom of the bag.

Speaker A:

Or maybe.

Speaker A:

Maybe people are throwing back handfuls of pretzel salt.

Speaker A:

They didn't really define the survey, but people were also asked what style of pretzel was their favorite.

Speaker A:

The vast majority said soft pretzels, which are salty and savory, and for some reason, I've never taken a liking to them.

Speaker A:

A distant second were soft pretzels with sweet flavorings, and classic hard pretzels were third, and they're actually my favorites.

Speaker A:

It is unclear, though, if anyone likes the hard, soft pretzels from sporting events.

Speaker A:

Those were not listed.

Speaker A:

You know, they're supposed to be soft, but they've been hanging on that little hook thing for about 27 weeks.

Speaker A:

And so they're.

Speaker A:

They're more like a traditional hard press anyway.

Speaker A:

Salt from the bottom of the bag.

Speaker A:

A third of us eat the salt at the bottom of the bag.

Speaker A:

I wonder what else people who eat the salt at the bottom of a pretzel bag.

Speaker A:

I wonder what else those folks do.

Speaker B:

Best way to start your day, these six jokes he's about to say.

Speaker B:

Listen up for old Haystack CR in the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

Yep, our morning six pack.

Speaker A:

The top six other things that people who eat the salt at the bottom of the pretzel bag do.

Speaker A:

Number six.

Speaker A:

Licks the sour cream off the Taco Bell wrapper.

Speaker A:

Well, yeah, of course.

Speaker A:

Number five.

Speaker A:

Sips the dollop of Coca Cola that gets stuck in the rim of the can.

Speaker A:

You fight for that thing for forever.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Number four.

Speaker A:

Digs for and then switch smokes the pot seeds that fall in the shag carpeting.

Speaker A:

Three, Squeezes the toothpaste until the tube looks like a snake that's been run over by a car.

Speaker A:

Number two.

Speaker A:

Snorts the lucky charm's marshmallow dust.

Speaker A:

Just.

Speaker A:

Just me.

Speaker A:

Okay, I'm gonna move on.
