Why are Philly pretzels soooo expensive?

Here I sit broken hearted, paid a quarter and only farted.

As opposed to what. They're a bargain compared to gold bars.

Where at? They actually seem pretty cheap to me if you buy them at the factory on Frankford or at a place like Philly Soft Pretzel Factory.

However, if you buy them someplace like WaWa or Frankford Hall, expect to pay a premium.

That's a joke, right? The prices the PSPF sells them at are unbelievably low.

they're like $.40! considering you can get 2 for a buck and that's a pretty filling lunch - i'd say they're one of the cheapest meals around.

they are now ~50cents/pretzel at the trucks in UC, but i dont mind paying a slight premium for the convenience.

dont buy wawa pretzels, they are terrible.

pretzels are cheaper here than anywhere else in the country, bar none.

they're $1.25 for two now, but you can still get 4 for $2. once you start buying in bulk i think you reach a point where they're actually paying you in mustard to take the pretzels.

Two pretzels, even at .50 each...you don't need to eat for the rest of the day.
(Save one for around dinner time.)
