Incredibly delicious. Thanks Cig, I think you might be on to something with these!

Thank you and good to know what I need to work on tomorrow. i dropped a few samples to friends and it's nice to hear feedback. The process is fairly shored up but a few changes based on thoughts is still in the works. For a soccer mom this is a simple thing to make. When you need 8-12k a day it's a totally different story.

No, the only major ads I see with my products are on billboards.

Years ago I got a request from the chef in diamond club to make pretzel baguettes. I outsourced it at the time due to the labor it takes to make something like this (still to this day, I'm not surprised by the craze...it was an incredible sandwich I had on a pretzel baguette). Now, every friggen major brand is doing it, the boat has already left and is pretty much heading back to port...I'm playing catch-up with something that probably won't have any traction a year or 2 from now. So in my R&D I'm trying to make something with a little more longevity. A pretzel flavored bread but not as heavy as traditional pretzel buns (hence Hotboats view about a lighter/heavier bun....I gave him both). I believe, if I make something that's light and fluffy but has a pretzel flavor it will not only have more of a life but put me into a portion of the market the big guys can't even think their way around. Not saying I'm smarter but I know I'm more flexible based on processes.

Orders? My bad. I'll change direction and say that was meant for HB that I wasn't invited post delivery. Yeah that's what I meant. :D

I still have one bun left. FedEx? :D
