#7: Pretzels
Pretzels are a popular snack, especially at sporting events, but their true origins can be found in Germany. The twisted dough is baked and often sprinkled with salt. Historically, pretzels were created by monks as a reward for those who learned their prayers. Immigrants brought this snack to America, where it became an icon for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just as a snack.
