National Pretzel Day: Braves Fans Can Get Free Pretzels

Snyder's of Hanover®is giving away thousands of bags of pretzels on National Pretzel Day.

The company has a new, on-air "Pretzels, Baby" ad campaign. On April 26, the company is giving away thousands of bags of boldly-flavored Pretzel Pieces near baseball stadiums in eight cities around the country:

• Atlanta
• New York
• Denver
• Washington, D.C.
• Chicago
• Detroit
• Minneapolis
• San Francisco

The Braves finish up a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday at 7:10 pm.

Snyder's of Hanover street teams will be handing out three flavorful varieties – Honey Mustard and Onion, Hot Buffalo Wing and the newest sweet and salty flavor, S'mores.

Throughout the day, baseball players will be on Twitter telling fans about their favorite pretzels, including current and former players such as Chipper Jones, Zack Wheeler, Jason Motte, Glen Perkins and Joe Panik.

Snyder's of Hanover encourages fans to visit its Facebook and Twitter pages for product giveaways throughout the day and to tag photos or posts on social media using #PretzelsBaby and #NationalPretzelDay to join in the celebration.

National Pretzel Day is annually celebrated on April 26. The day was originally established more than 30 years ago by U.S. Representative Robert S. Walker (Pa.). It was then re-declared by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell in 2003 to acknowledge the importance of the pretzel to his state's history and economy.
