Sometimes, there's nothing better than taking a bite out of a hot pretzel topped with salt, cinnamon-sugar, or another amazing topping-but the one thing that can make a pretzel even more delicious may just be getting it for free! 

With National Pretzel Day, which got it's start in Pennsylvania back in the 1980s and became an official day in 2003, getting pretzels for free, or at least, at a discount, is a very real possibility. Here are all the places you can find a deal: 

Auntie Anne's: Those who signed up ahead of time for the "My Pretzel perks" app will be able to get either a free Original or Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel through May 1. In addition, five other people would win free pretzels for a year. Also, those who visit the company's blog and comment with their favorite pretzel could also be entered for a chance to win great prizes.
