People are fascinated after a video of making pretzels goes viral
- The ravishing video has been viewed more than 400,000 times on Twitter
Many are fascinated by a mesmerizing video showing how pretzels become a tasty treat.
The video shows how the dough is cut, with the sections making their way between two conveyor belts, where it is then spread out into a thin tube.
The long strands of raw dough then reach a mechanism that grabs them at both ends and twists them together in a hug-like motion.
Hundreds of raw pretzels are transported through a fountain of hot water.
Shortly after baking, they emerge from the burning flames as golden brown beauties.
Many have been entranced by the pretzel production video, with one saying, “I could watch that all day”

Many mouths watered after watching the captivating clip, one of which said, “Mmmm, give me some of that!”
Another said, “That was great. Pretzels are really great.’
Others marveled at the journey pretzels took, from inception to hitting the bakery shelves.
One person said, “I never thought about how pretzels were mass-produced before. Extremely informative.’
Another added: ‘In a world of mass production, it’s funny how many specific machines there are. Like this one specially built to make pretzels.’
Someone commented, ‘Enchanting is an understatement. This is like hypnotizing lol.” while another quipped, “I could watch this all day.”
But not everyone was up for the usually savory treat after the video: One user commented, “They’re too dry for me.” Cottonmouth after three of them.’
Another continued, “This doesn’t look like food.”

Despite the mesmerizing video, the German delicacy is not always machine-made.
Until the 1930s, they were made by hand and the average worker could tie 40 pretzels a minute, Mobile Cuisine reports.
In 1935, the Reading Pretzel Machinery company released the first automated pretzel-making machine, which meant larger bakeries could make up to five tons of the typically salty treat daily.
More recently, in 2015, the oldest pretzel in the world was found in Germany.
According to experts, the 250-year-old snack still tasted just as ‘delicious’ as when it was first made.
