"Tebowing" pretzel hits Philly as fans wait for real thing
PHILADELPHIA -- At least part of Philadelphia is happy Tim Tebow's going to lace up his cleats once more.
While the on again-off again NFL quarterback is in the process of signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, fans who are anticipating his donning the team jersey can get a pretzel made in his honor.
The Philly Soft Pretzel Factory has created a pretzel shaped in the "Tebowing" position that made him famous, which can be purchased for just a dollar, CBS Philadelphia reported.
"To be honest with you, I don't know where it came from," Adam Terranova, Philly Soft Pretzel's marketing manager, said. "This one kind of came out of, 'Hey, Tebow is coming this morning!'"
The pretzel really took off, says Terranova, when the original shipment was delivered to the Eagles.
Terranova says if the pretzels are a hit, they'll stick with them for a while. "Right now, who knows, it could be a regular pretzel on Sunday's," Terranova said. "We're gonna ride as far is it goes."
