I was hoping if I bought these pretzels directly from the manufacturer they wouldn't be broken like I find them in stores;however, that was not the case. While the pretzels taste good and fresh, many, if not most,of the pretzels are in pieces. There was very little packing material to protect the pretzels in shipping. Disappointed that the pretzels aren't whole like shown in the picture.

These are the best and most awesome pretzels I have ever had. The taste is delicious. The salt stays on them in the barrel. The size of each pretzel is perfect. The price is great. As soon as my barrel gets about 3/4 empty I buy another so I don't run out. Please keep them in stock all the time. They are great with and without dip. Eat them medium spicy cheese dip and you will be in heaven.

Nearly all the pretzels in each of the three barrels I ordered were broken into pieces. I had them delivered to my house - next time I'll opt for in-store pickup, and if those are broken, then I'll assume that Walmart is buying up broken stock from either UTZ or one of their distributors, and look elsewhere.

These are the best mass-produces pretzels our there. They're the perfect and impossible blend of perfectly crispy without being too hard or too crunchy, and they have the most amazing depth of flavor you'd imagine. Despite their being made from sourdough, they don't taste sour at all, which in this application, is not at all disappointing.

I was looking for a snack to share with my coworkers and this is the perfect snack, and everyone loves the flavor and product. I love the price, because 52 oz. is a lot of pretzels for the price. I buy three barrels at a time and they last about month between 12 staff members.

These are the best pretzels! I used to bring a small bag to work to snack on or to eat with lunch- but everyone loves them so much we just keep a container on hand at all times. Too bad they are not availble in the other Sams in the area- another one is closer to me but I go out of my way to go to this Sams just so I can buy these pretzels.

We LOVE the pretzels. As many said, there were a good many broken. We ate them anyhow. That was the smaller jug so I ordered the bigger jug this time. When I opened it, there was nothing to ensure the safety of the product. No plastic around the lid/lip so I figured there would be plastic or some other material stuck to the rim of the jug, but nope. Just open and eat (we did not, though). We were ready to chow down on these delicious pretzels. Sadly, we saw them in the trash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Sourdough Specials Original are the classic, salty pretzel that we love! We have tried so many other brands and types. The Specials are crispy with just the right amount of salt to satisfy your snacking desires! Thank you for having them available direct as I cannot find them in stores near me!

Great flavor but a little salty

The brand of pretzels is great, but I was sent a tub that expires in 3 weeks!!
