Well, darn it Bill. Here I was expecting to have a nice, restful

By the way, just to test the theory, I poured myself a bowlful of
Hanovers' Sourdough Pretzel Bits. Checking them for crunch factor,
I'd say that between the time I opened the bag two days ago and now,
the crunch factor has gone from 10 to 7.5. Same priniciple. All you
guys must be right.
