What could possibly go wrong if you serve beer and pretzels at the same time in North Dakota?

Can NOT have people dunking their pretzels in the beer!!!

Slight misinterpretation of the law…

The skeleton disguise didn’t fool anyone due to the loin cloth.

Another wacky North Dakota law: It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on.

Beer and pretzels? Maybe they don’t want bars serving salty food (pretzels and peanuts) because people will drink more! I say outlaw serving popcorn and soda at the same time!

I still find myself saying “Uh oh Chongo.” Good way to find out who’s older than they say!

And now we all have the Banana Splits theme stuck in our heads.

North Dakota revels either stupidity or malevolence in an entrapment scheme. The purpose of pretzels or other bread related snacks is to absorb some of the alcohol in the beer and provide the body with good carbohydrates to use as energy which again mitigates the effect of alcohol. If you can’t eat then the alcohol in the beer is going to make you drunker faster. The only reason I can see this law being passed o to catch more people for public drunkenness or DUI.

If your in a bar in North Dakota and you want beer and pretzels, go ahead and order. You will not be turned down, unless the bar has no pretzels.

Why is “pretzel’s” singular possessive, instead of plural: pretzels?
