Archie making fun of Mike for Pretzels and Mustard - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

gilligan fanatic · 12-23-2015, 11:40 AM

I've been eating pretzels and mustard together for years, both hard and soft ones, never thought of it being unusual. I feel like they were going for another sock and a shoe moment but it just didn't work as well this time.

I've seen the soft pretzels eaten with mustard all the time, hard ones rarely. BUT that doesn't mean I THINK it's weird. We all have our own specific food combos. Mine are catsup with potato chips and sour cream on Freach toast.

I grew up eating mustard on pretzels. All the street pretzel vendors in Philly had a big container of mustard, and we put mustard on our hard pretzels in the home!

I remember when this first aired and my Mom made a comment about Archie never seeing this done! She thought it was strange being he was a New Yorker? Like Alan Brady's hair posted! I think this did originate on the East coast!

Mustard in pretzels is big in Philadelphia but I don't know how big it is in Chicago, where Mike came from. Mustard on pretzels is not particularly popular in NYC. It's not unheard of, but it's not standard either. My problem with the episode is that Mike called them (I think) "giant" salt pretzels and they were maybe half the size of the ones you'd get from a typical street vendor in NYC.

Mmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! I remember Philly pretzels were big and they were long like this ! As apposed to the second pic. I posted that is more standard pretzel shape!! ( The first pic came out small but the actual pretzels were really big) !

I think it was all to give Archie and Mike something to debate about and nothing more. LOL! I like the mustard and pretzel thing once in a while, but typically I will use nacho cheese with a soft pretzel.

I sometimes dip hard pretzel sticks in peanut butter! It's really good!

Celery sticks with peanut butter are delicious!

The celery/peanut butter thing actually sounds good in theory, but I do NOT like celery unless it's cooked in soup. I know - strange.

I love celery in tuna!! I also love the way celery smells!
