OK, I googled. Auntie Anne's in Malaysia is having trouble getting halal certification cuz of the name pretzel dog. They suggested to rename them pretzel sausage.
The authority has issues with the word 'hotdog' because the Muslims are forbidden to touch dogs (which is not true). So Auntie Anne isn't allowed to sell ANY KIND OF PRETZELS (JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE PRETZEL DOG). They suggested to change the word hotdog to sausage!!
what is happening to human beings? sigh. It's really not about pretzels. If they implement laws like this, soon I will probably can't consume pork or own a dog and I will have to wear a head scarf. :(
