Glico Pretz Roasted Salted Butter

Pretz Salad is the dependable classic. Pretz Roasted Salted Butter is what happens when dependable decides it wants to be something people talk about. The same thin, crunchy pretzel stick format returns, but this time coated in a warm, rich salted butter seasoning that elevates the whole experience into something that feels noticeably more indulgent without actually requiring any additional effort on your part beyond opening the box, which you will do with speed.

The butter flavour here is generous and real-tasting, with a warmth that spreads across the palate in a way that makes each stick feel more substantial than its modest dimensions suggest. The salt does exactly what salt does when paired with butter, which is make everything considerably better and make stopping considerably harder. Roasted Salted Butter sits in that increasingly crowded category of Japanese snacks that take a familiar, comforting flavour combination and execute it with a precision that makes the original seem almost inadequate by comparison. Glico took their already excellent pretzel stick and asked what would happen if butter got involved. The answer is this box, and the answer is very good, and the box will be empty before you have made any conscious decision to empty it.
