Free pretzels for National Pretzel Day

PHILADELPHIA, April 26 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania pretzel company said free soft pretzels were being distributed Tuesday as part of National Pretzel Day celebrations.

The Philly Pretzel Factory said it was giving a free pretzel to customers at its more than 100 locations in honor of the holiday first declared by Congress in 1983, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Competitor Auntie Anne's said it was marking National Pretzel Day, as well as National Dance Week with a Pretzel Twist dance, which was created with "So You Think You Can Dance" finalist Alex Wong. The dance can be viewed on the eatery's Web site.
