“These pretzels are making me thirsty!” is a one-line saying about pretzels that has been printed on many images. The line is a catchphrase from the New York-themed television sitcom Seinfeld, on the episode “The Alternate Side” that aired on December 4, 1991.
 
In the episode, the character Kramer gets a small role in a Woody Allen film. Kramer’s one line is, “These pretzels are making me thirsty!” The other Seinfeld characters recite the line to give Kramer an idea how to say it.
 
According to some studies, however, salt consumption makes you drink less.
       
   
Wikipedia: The Alternate Side
The Alternate Side is the 28th episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. The episode was the eleventh episode of the show’s third season. It aired on December 4, 1991.
 
The episode was written by Larry David and Bill Masters; it was directed by Tom Cherones. The idea for the Woody Allen story came from David’s experiences working with Allen; he briefly appeared in Radio Days (1987) and New York Stories (1989). He would later appear in a lead role in Whatever Works (2009). The episode is notable for its repeated use of the line “these pretzels are making me thirsty,” one of the first popular catchphrases to emerge from the show, which inspired fans to throw pretzels during Jerry Seinfeld’s stand-up comedy performances during the few months following its premiere.
 
In 2012, Jerry Seinfeld admitted that this is his least favorite episode, saying the stroke patient storyline made him feel uncomfortable.
 
Plot
