Hot Sam Pretzels (1966-2006): A chain of mall-based soft pretzel spots that, at it's height, could be found in 175 malls nationwide. In 1995, they began converting into Pretzel Time, after being purchased by Mrs. Fields, with the last location converting in 2006.
I need her cap for swim season.
It should be noted that the brand name lives on--you can still buy Hot Sam pretzels in bulk, as well as merch with the classic logo! thehotsam.com

Hot Sam had the bestworst nacho cheese sauce they's put on your pretzel
Now THAT was a mall pretzel. Don’t make ‘em like that anymore
I can smell that photo - and then you walked down the mall a few yards to Tiffany bakery, which was a whole 'nother delicious aroma.
That's a very 60s logo; wonder how long it was used
I'm too young to remember Hot Sam but I DEFINITELY remember Pretzel Time. The memories...
I remember Hot Sam! I think we had one in the Century Plaza Mall in Birmingham. I wanna saw it was my first hot pretzel experience. Been hooked ever since.
i have a lot of love for those jay ward-esque character designs that were so popular in the 60s
