Snyder Feud?
WL noticed today as he was reading the ingredients section (no dyes involved!) on a bag of Jalapeno pretzels here that Synder's of Hanover (America's Pretzel Bakery since 1909) must be in a blood feud of some kind with "Snyder of Berlin".
Poor Snyder of Berlin - having been bought up by BirdsEye must have been traumatic.
More on this story as the facts stroll in.
UPDATE: WL recommends this piece of Snyder history - Fascinating reading, by the way. Seems that there was no blood feud, merely a dissolution. Further, Synder's was a competitor of the Utz company - also a favorite purveyor of DBI snack food.
UPDATE: As ReberVt reminds us, Feud is properly spelled as corrected, after the old rule u before e except after F. A million thanks from the staff of head-smashed-in, for keeping us on our toes.

Although "fued" may come closer to the pronunciation you southerners use for this word, up in the north country we say feud.
