Auntie Anne-icus Brief

<p><a href="https://maximumfun.org/about/team/mark-gagliardi/" target="_blank">Mark</a> and <a href="https://maximumfun.org/about/team/hal-lublin/" target="_blank">Hal</a> host the Maximum Fun show <a href="https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/we-got-this-with-mark-and-hal/" target="_blank">WE GOT THIS</a>, wherein they settle small debates. In 2018, they attempted to decide the <a href="https://maximumfun.org/episodes/we-got-this-with-mark-and-hal/168-best-pretzel-shape/" target="_blank">Best Pretzel Shape</a> but came to an impasse. Hal thinks that Mark was too unwilling to properly entertain a debate. Mark says that Hal betrayed the show’s core by removing the default pretzel shape from contention. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?</p><p>Thank you to Dan Gualtieri for naming this week’s case!
