I think hating all three goes too far. Now Sauerkraut can be an acquired taste. I get that. Some people would hate on you for hating beer but I get that too. Hating pretzels however shows that you are a horrible person. Or you need to avoid gluten and you are jealous us others can eat pretzels. Cus pretzels are amazing. One of the two.

It isn't gluten, but I moved from a town with best pretzels ever to a town with shitty ones. Now I hate them.

I can forgive the hate for shitty pretzels. It's tough to move away from a great place got food. I still struggle to find good Shawarma anywhere since I moved away from a bigger city.

The pretzel itself is unimportant so long as it can serve as a vehicle for big rocks of salt.

You completely misunderstood the art of eating pretzels.

Perhaps. I am American, after all, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. But I view pretzels the same way I view tortilla chips - a bad chip can ruin a pairing, but a good chip will serve as a vehicle for salsa and otherwise stay out of the way of the experience. Pretzels are the same with their salt to me. The bread part, so long as it is prepared properly, is mostly structural. I'm here to eat the rocks.

You're eating bad or old/wet pretzels then. I mostly remove some of the salt since they're too salty for me.

But pretzels with spundekäse are amazing. I love it and could eat it every day.
