I'm guessing Uniques are going to take this because they're the easiest to find and are, in fact, quite good. Still going to root for Uncle Jerry's though since that was my introduction to the Extra Dark world and remain the loudest and crunchiest imho. Try watching teevee while eating them. You gotta have the closed captioning on.

There's a mom and pop grocery around the corner called STREETS that carries them. Used to also stock them at the nearby Whole Foods and later at this other boutique grocery around the other corner (where you can get Martin's and Hammond's).

This poll was pathetically inconclusive.
Unique Pretzels was named "Snack Producer of the Year 2016," which should probably function as the tiebreaker imo

Can we take a moment to appreciate how much salt went into this tableau

The place that carried Martin’s and Hammonds ended up going out of business hard: https://www.popville.com/2017/08/dagger-smucker-farms-closing-14th-street/

I feel that I must hijack this thread to commend Sunshine for introducing Extra Toasty Cheez-Its last year.
(But they could be a bit toastier if you ask me.)

Expeditions this weekend revealed that Uncle Jerry’s extra dark are becoming highly difficult to find, btw

missed, or don't recall thread. recently had the good fortune to be able to try Unique and Uncle Jerry's. i think the only brands i've ever encountered are Snyder's and Rolled Gold. While the former are decent, both have now been forever ruined. Unique Splits are fantastic. A perfect pretz. Like, Tom stated upthread, Uncle Jerry has the edge on crispiness, crunch and is a bit darker. Both are perfectly salted imho. Unable/unwilling to pick one over the other.
