COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on our lifestyles – we’re staying in (and we implore you to, as well). Life has changed. Drastically. While it’s not permanent, it’s a big shift, and we’re all feeling it. While you’re doing the right thing (spatial and social distancing + self isolating), we’re updating you with what you need to know about all the things you love. How you can still eat, drink, consume, watch and buy the things that bring you joy. How you can continue to support Australian businesses, artists, creators, makers and more. How you can stay amused, active, educated and entertained at home. How we can all stay connected to the things that make us us.
Australians are being called to support local business with Josh Frydenberg quoted as saying, ‘Now is the time for Team Australia!”
With this thinking in mind Brittany Garbutt of Pretzel is quantifying the support of her customers with her new click and collect ordering website www.buypretzel.com.au that explicitly shows your support with one pair of socks equating to 30 minutes of paid employment of the Pretzel staff.
www.buypretzel.com.au sells the usual Pretzel Australia menu of sweet and savoury pretzels, as well as merchandise such as pink Pretzel socks to keep your feet warm while working from home.
With this calculation, around 4 pretzels would support a worker for an hour.
Brittany Garbutt says, “We want to show our customers exactly how much they are helping us with every purchase. Now is the time to get behind local Australian businesses as much as possible to keep the economic fall out of the coronavirus at a minimum. We want to keep all our staff employed through this time!”
With sweet, savoury and wait for it…vegan options available on the 16-piece menu, Pretzel can fill a snack desire, or be a meal unto itself enjoyed by all!
Keep it simple with the Original for $5, or Cheese and Garlic for $6. If you’re after a more substantial meal, The Lot for $9.50 includes a three-cheese mix, pepperoni, bacon and jalapeño to keep you on your toes from the comfort of home.
For a pretzel pizza dream test your tastebuds out on the Cheese and Pepperoni with three cheese mix and mild pepperoni slices, or for something spicy the Chipotle and Cheese with three cheese mix, jalapeños and oh so smokey chipotle aioli.
Looking to indulge your sweet tooth? Treat yourself to a Coconut Rough with premium white chocolate toasted coconut for $8.50. If you’re feeling nutty we recommend the Peanut Butter and Oreo with smooth peanut butter and Oreo cookie dust also for $8.50, or level up with the Cinnamon Glazed pretzel with cinnamon covered in vanilla cream cheese filling for $7.50.
