Or so says the answer on a game show (which is why it’s here instead of GQ). They claimed that it is one of the things you are not allowed to bring on a White House tour. If so, why!?
Pretzels are devious. One almost got W, iirc.
Well, Dubya choked on one once… maybe it’s a legacy ban.
Shakes tiny fist of impotent rage.
W almost choked to death on one.
Is this one of those things like the “dumb laws” lists, where it’s actually all food that isn’t allowed?
Edit: Food is not allowed.
Ok, then. I did not know that.
Yeah if it had anything to do with Ol’ Dubya then they wouldn’t allow shoes either, he almost got taken out by a couple of those too.
I don’t think any visitor to be so gauche as to amble along chewing a sandwich, or swigging from a bottle in a brown bag; yet I would also have considered a ban on these objects unneeded to be stated:
Guns, ammunition, fireworks, electric stun guns, mace, martial arts weapons/devices, toy weapons, or knives or any kind
But I would have thought pretzels would be welcome in the present administration’s White House. They are twisted, salty, and of German origin.
You should come to the US and see the truth then.
