Dot's Original Pretzels remain an undisputed centerpiece of the game-day spread whether fans are having a small watch party at home or an epic tailgate at their Alma matter.

Whether it's a lucky jersey or a can't-skip pregame ritual, Dot's Pretzels are built to be part of the winning season. Three Ways to Bring The Flavor to Game Day
"Winning seasons are built with the right ingredients, and so are great game-day spreads," said Natalie Perera, VP of Salty Snacks at The Hershey Company. "What makes Dot's Pretzels different is the bold, buttery-rich flavor, signature seasoning and unmistakable crunch that fans keep coming back to every football season. Dot's Original Pretzels have earned a place at the center of game day, and with limited-time Dot's Chipotle Honey, we're giving fans a sweet and smoky new way to shake up their spread." "I'm big on having a routine before a game. The preparation, the little things you do the same way every time – it all helps you feel ready when kickoff comes. Fans have those rituals, too, whether it's what they wear, what they watch, or what they have on the table. Dot's Pretzels fits right into that for me, and the new limited-time Dot's Chipotle Honey Pretzels have quickly become a game-day favorite. That sweet and smoky flavor is a fun change of pace, and it's definitely a snack I've added to my routine," said Caleb Downs, Rookie Football star and Dot's brand partner. This fall, the Dot's brand is celebrating the ingredients that make every football season memorable – from the preparation and routines that happen before kickoff to the traditions shared with friends and family. With Dot's Original Pretzels at the center of game day and new flavors like limited-time Dot's Chipotle Honey adding to the mix, Dot's Pretzels are ready to be part of the rituals that bring fans together all season long.
