5. Pretzels have an intriguing history. Have you noticed their shape? Monks made them in southern Europe to reward children and students who had learned to pray. Many people believe that the crossed ends indicated hands that are clasped in a symbol of prayer.
6. Frankfurters were first made in a German town by the same name. An American began selling them in the twentieth century. One tale contends that when he sold them, he called them "hot dachshund sausages" because they were long and narrow like the dog. Sometime later, the term was shortened to hot dog.
