Hempzel™ Pretzel & Hemp Snack Food Customer Comment Page

February 20, 2008: - Email from www.grannywarrior.com - supporting Dr. Ron Paul for President - "Yes - we got them (Hempzels Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets) & have been handing them out to everyone. Buddy loves them. I open a bag and pour them in a bowl with the bag attached to the bowl and let people try them. Everyone says they are good. You should be doing good with them.

February 1, 2008 - Phoned: Thank you for the pretzels, my wife and I love your Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets & Sourdough Pretzels, you are going to be a millionaire, we will tell our friends & family. Keep up the great work. George D. M, - Columbia, PA

January 31, 2008 - Letter: Enclosed is a check for Hempzels that you gave me at the Atlantic City Gourmet Food show. We loved the Peanut Butter Filled Hempzels & Crunchy Sourdough. Thank you - Diane J. - Logport, NJ.

January 10, 2008 Mustard Comments: Simply stated, this is a wonderful product with no legitimate competition. I tried this at the Pennsylvania Farm Show just today, literally eight hours ago, and it truly amazed me. So much so that I bought a bottle immediately after a tasting, and I wish I had purchased more. I love mustards, and this is a truly excellent one. The addition of horseradish provides a wonderfully zesty, agreeable kick to traditional whole seed mustard, as well as makes this a truly Pennsylvanian mustard. The omega 3 and 6 health benefits are a welcomed suprise as well; I have not been able to find a mustard with such health benefits, even in health food stores. This is truly a remarkable product. I never anticipated that something I use everyday, mustard, could incorporate such wonderful health qualities. Like many people, I assumed consuming omega oils required eating foods that are not traditional, but this is apparently not the case. Unfortunately, hemp seed must be sourced from Canada as our own government refuses to help our farmers in the endeavor to create healthy, beneficial foods. This is a truly wonderful product. Thank you. - Matthew

December 3, 2007 - My order came in, thanks for the very fast shipping. The pretzels are excellent and i plan on trying all the flavors once we have consumed this order. The observations i noted dealing with Hempzels - quick and easy payment options, easy to navigate website, friendly and fast customer service, super fast shipping and finally a great tasting product. Thanks again, Jake / Wisconsin

September 12, 2007 - Emailed: Hi Mr. House, I received my Jalepeno pretzels today and I love them! I'm not sure if any of your customers have tried this, but I love crushing the pretzels into pieces and using them in my salads! Today I used the Jalepeno pretzels in a mexican sald and it was fantastic! Thanks again, Becky (Wyncotte, PA)

Comments: Picked up your hempzels at our local Musikfest and loved them. Will buy them at our local health food stores! Thanks for a great product.

Hello there! I have been enjoying your pretzels for many years now. I purchase them from my friends Frank & Jude, who own Natural Selections (aka the Hemp Shop) on Ocracoke Island NC.

I was born & raised in Lewisburg, PA, and was practically weaned on good sourdough pretzels. When I moved to NC with my stained glass business 12 years ago, I was disappointed to find that good pretzels were not available in the local grocery stores. (Plenty of pork & greens, but alas no hard pretzels - I guess there's just no accounting for taste ;) So I was really excited when Jude asked me to try your hempzels. One "peace" and I was hooked!

They are even better than my old favorite from PA, Wege sourdoughs, and I buy a bag everytime I visit Ocracoke. I sell my stained glass on the Island, and I even make hemp-leaf suncatchers for Natural Selections. So in the summer, I can get a bag or two of hempzels every couple of weeks, yay!

I especially like the white salt on my hard pretzels, which leads to the question I have for you: Are you putting less salt on them than you used to? It seems to me that they just aren't as salty as they used to be a couple of years ago. They still satisfy my deep craving for the world's best pretzels, but they could use just a little more salt lately. I understand the current need for dietary correctness, but if you could save the saltiest pretzels (original sourdough flavor) and bag them up for your Ocracoke, NC orders, I would be eternally grateful! (I know you can't do that - I'm a flaky artist, but not that flaky, ha-ha)

-Alison Green Heron Glass Studio ( NOTE SPH - Thanks Alison - since we sell mainly to health food stores I will work on also getting out some good ole salty pretzel "PEACES" - Enjoy the summer & much peace to you!

I just wanted to send my appreciation for you HemPretzel Nuggets with peanut butter. They are fantastic! I can't get enough of them!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your amazingly delicious products. Keep up the good work. Emily N. / Ithaca, NY

March 23, 2007 (email message) .... I'll be ordering again soon. I love your products and so does my entire family. We're trying to kick start a healthier life style for the summer, ya know? Any way thanks for your great service and help. I look forward to dealing with you in the future. Stephanie S. - NJ (thanks SPH)

Comments: Your vegan hempseed baklava is the most fantastic dessert product available. I've always loved baklava but as a committed vegan, I refuse to purchase any products that contain animal products. Thank you for fullfilling my baklava fix!
But please, get rid of the honey in your mustard. It's not necessary. Try agave nectar instead. The bees need their honey. Username: Sue P ( Thanks Sue - You know I think I'll work on that soon for the mustard - please continue to spread the word - cheers! S.P.House)

January 9, 2007 - (emailed) I just wanted to know I got your Hempzel Nuggets. I love your nuggets. I was given this as my birthday present. Well let me tell you, this is excellent. You need to let everyone know where to purchase it. It really is a treat but you neet to let people know. Thank you. Jane (SPH notes: thanks Jane - I'm doing my best)

October 20, 2006 - (mailed in) Hi Shawn, Thank you so much for your time. The pretzels are delicious. It should (will :) add to a great fall fest. Sincerely, Tamara S. New Jersey

Thanks for your email. I ordered a case of peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets. They are awesome! I first discovered them at David's Market here in Columbia, MD but they are usually out of stock, so I thought I would order them directly to ensure that I always have a supply on hand for snacking. Our 18 year old son has forgotten about potato chips and even his beloved tortilla chips since he tasted your peanut butter filled nuggets. Thanks again for offering a healthy and delicious product.

I tried them last week and have been back to the store (Rainbow Grocery-San Francisco) twice for more.
I can't wait to try your other products.
Thank you!

Username: Linda S ( SPH notes: Thanks Linda - Rainbow Grocery is a great store - we have 5 wonderful flavors of Sourdough Hemp Pretzels and are soon going to have a Spelt Hemp Pretzel - please spread the word) 06/07 - we won't be producing a spelt Hempzel since it also has wheat/gluten....

Comments: Your Pumpernickel & Onion are very yummy. We bought a 10 oz bag at a grocery store for 3.29. We go on your web site and they are .70 more. Doesn't seem right. Do you have a store open to the public and what are the hours & prices, where are you located? We are from Reading PA and will drive down if the prices at the store are better. Thanks

Username: Jeffrey N. --- (SPH notes; thanks Jeffrey for the compliment and normal suggested retail for these hand rolled hemp sourdough pretzels are $3.99 - the online store price takes into account shipping / packaging / delivery - we encourage you to get them at your local store especially with the cost of gas still going up)

"I absolutely love every Hempzel product I've tried so far, especially the peanut butte nuggets! I also love that I'm dealing with a local company- that's very important!" (addition) April 23rd - we love your peanut butter pretzel nuggets and read about how your pretzel was beat out by a chocolate covered pretzel. why not create a chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel nugget (using vegan, fair-trade, organic chocolate, of course!). we can easily make these ourselves by melting chocolate chips to dip the nuggets in... but who doesn't love convenience! :D

Dawn S - Lancaster, PA - (SPH notes: thanks Dawn for the comments & support - new products neeed new bags & new nutritional information - presently not in the budget until sales increase nationwide BUT you are right, that's always an option..enjoy!)

Shawn, got the order / I LOVE THE PEANUT BUTTER FILLED NUGGETS!!! Awesome product man! I’ll be ordering more shortly!

Comments: Your Peanut-butter filled Hempzels are the greatest! They have no trans-fats and just the right amount of salt. I am sending this from work, since I haven't yet sprung for a new computer and have no e-mail address at this time. Keep up the good work! I hope to try the Soft Hempzels soon, they look terrific! Best of luck to you and your business!

Comments: The product is great, but I can't find where to buy it. The place I bought it doesn't carry it any more. I live in Ephrata.

Ron L. ( SPH - thanks Ron - try Weavers Market, Community Natural Foods, Glenwood Foods near you! -(thanks for the compliment SPH )

I just love your hempzels, I have been a 27 year member of Selene Food Co-op in Media, pA. I would love if you would pick up a bag of our sea salt at our food co-op and make your hempzels with the Sea Salt and call them Hempzels with Sea Salt. Sea Salt is better for you than regular table salt. It has lots of minerals that the body requires. SO one would be getting nutrition along with a great tasting pretzel. Could you please try making them for us. It would be a hit.

Dear Hempzels, We LOVE your Sourdough Hemp pretzels with Sesame Seed!! They are our favorite pretzels. the flavor and crunch are superb! We buy them at the Community Natural Food Store in New Holland, are they for sale in Ephrata? Best Wishes Dawn R. - PS Love the ingredients. Thanks for not adding sugar.

Comments: Hemp is an awsome plant with almost limitless potential. As a consumer I can only imagine hemp being put in products because of its practicality but not the taste but in the case of hempzels it is the exact opposite. These HEMPzels are great as PRETZELS!!!PERIOD!!!

I think it's awesome that your company does what it does. More people need to be aware of the many uses and benefits of hemp as well as the production of it in the united states. keep up the great work and thanks a million! - Stephen, Harrisburg, PA

Comments: Great line of pretzels! They are the best I've had. Now if only the prices where as good as the product; they would quickly become the favorites of many more people eating their way to better health.
