It seems that everyone can't stop talking about Auntie Anne's 'Pretzel Dog' since news broke out about the company's application for halal certification
It was revealed recently that Auntie Anne's has yet to be certified halal by Malaysia's Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM).
One of the reasons Auntie Anne's was refused halal certification is because JAKIM found its 'Pretzel Dog' name to be "inappropriate", recommending the company to rename it to 'Pretzel Sausage'.
Following the incident, the issue has not only been widely reported by local media but also highly publicised in many other countries around the world.
