Wisconsin is known for its cheese and Louisiana for its gumbo and jambalaya, but Pennsylvania’s culinary claim to fame is pretzels. Snyder’s of Hanover, one of the most popular pretzel brands in the United States, began producing its famous Old Tyme Pretzels in Hanover, Pennsylvania, in 1909. The company’s headquarters are still located there today. But alongside Snyder’s of Hanover, Pennsylvania produces about 80 percent of the country’s pretzels – the state is home to a whopping 45 companies that produce this famous Oktoberfest snack.
