Aunt. Your mother's sister, or your father's sister. Or perhaps your uncle's wife. Or maybe like many people it's how your refer to a close female family friend. But Auntie, that's something different. Something that denotes an extra degree of affection, of love. Anne is deserving of this honorific. Whenever you are at an airport or a second rate mall, auntie Anne is there. Welcoming you with her indifferent customer service, delicious buttered pretzels and her all beef hot dogs wrapping in pretzels. Or even pretzel bites. Delicious. Legend has it that pretzels shape was originally created to invoke an image of people praying, arms crossed. While these pretzels may not be a religious experience, they will certainly have you praying for more. "These pretzels got me twisted" as the younger people say.
