Yogurt Covered Pig Snouts!

Are these really yogurt covered pig snouts?

No, they're just yogurt covered pretzels.

But doesn't the color and shape remind you of pig snouts?

These are new from Oskri Organics of Ixonia, WI. They're covered in raspberry yogurt and sell for $8.99 per pound. Click here to order them online.

I remember seeing a television commercial for something I don't remember what, that had this rough, mean looking cowboy in a old western saloon, reaching into jar of pickled pig snouts, putting it into this mouth, chewing, and swallowing. And when he chewed it, he made this really sour looking face. I'll never forget that commercial.

I feel like buying these pretzels just so that I can tell the neighbors kids that they're pig snouts, and make the same sour face.
