Put the pretzels that you are not planning on eating today in plastic ziplock bags and freeze them. They'll stay fresher. Let them thaw at toom temp . Microwaving makes them rubbery.
Oh . . . and FTR. I know how many 5 is.
I just thought that "fiver" was the code word for ANY package sent from the CBid forum, no matter WHAT the contents.

Ok, I forgot about the "code", but I couldn't resist the opportunity to mention the Patriots...and thanks for the advice on the pretzels...do you heat them in the oven to warm them up?

If you MUST warm them up, toss them in the microwave for a short period of time. As microwave power differs between units, I would start with 15 seconds and adjust accordingly.

When John sent his 2015 OpFTH “Spearprize”, he included some of those famous soft pretzels. Didn’t have to worry about any “leftovers”. =p~

If you guys think they were delicious after spending 3-5 days traveling in a vacuum pack bag, whatta ya think they're like right out of the factory oven ?
I buy them from a little old man who has a table set up in front of a Dollar Store about a half mile from the Philly Pretzel Factory. He suffers from Cerebral Palsy and sells pretzels to help pay for his meds.
Most of the time, the pretzels are still warm when I get them.

I have to agree, DELICIOUS!....I warmed one in a bagel toaster, not enough to toast, just enough to get it warm...with a cold beer and my honey mustard...=p~

I think I'm going to do that again today...🍺

Glad you liked it, Rick.
I opened my last box (robustos) last night and had one.
I will be sorry when they are all gone. 😞

Huge Grats AKDave on the first place win! I guess he will find out when he gets back from Italy which is suppose to be on the 1st I think.

I guess that would put Stinger as the winner for Delta's bonus game if I am looking at it right? So, Huge Grats there as well. 👍

Wow, this has to be one of the quickest to finish since I have started participating. Now we just have to wait and see who’s teams can close out theirs. We could still wait months for he next one to close out.

never expected this to happen after only 25 games into the season...congrats to AKDAVE....

you know the old saying "Close, but no cigar" ?

well, it don't apply here...stinger came the closest to the actual date that the first team filled the 13 run grid, so he wins the "decent fiver" ...

I'm gonna try and get them out to you before you leave for Hawaii, May 20th?

YEAH . . . with the team I gave up so he could participate. 🤦 [sarcasm]

Seriously though . . . I would have felt weird if I won my own pool.

Congrats Dave.
