Like #42, here is another twisty from Aschaffenburg but this one is a bit harder to explain.
Is this where you go when you have pretzel depression? The regulars give you that knowing look and shyly ask if you have the pretzel blues?
Is this another example of social media's influence and the use of "Facebook blue?"
Maybe it's just a pretzel trying to stand out in a world where so much twisting is going on.
I like him. And I like how much work went into this sign. Look at the electricity, the lighting. A fine example of something that can't be formulated in words, merely a feast for the eyes...
And look carefully - what I like best is that it even has those pointy wires sticking up to keep the pigeons from landing and pooping on the pretzel.

I was thinking it was some kind of a yoga place where they expect you to twist your back into a pretzel shape!

You're right, this pretzel design is definitely influenced by Facebook, I wonder if anyone's started a "I love pretzels" Facebook fun page because I think someone should, it's about time.

Ah, I see the Facebook influence now! I've seen Backwerk here in Berlin and wondered what it was reminding me of. I could only come up with Greggs the Bakers (http://greggs.co.uk/) which has quite similar colouring.

LOL, I would go for the Pretzel blues - when you can't find new ones to add to your collection. :-)

This one is much more subtle with the bird deterrent...

Facebook has a big impact in our life, every corner I hear about it. No one can live without posting and give like to anything. Thumbs up for pretzel :P
