Pretzel Ghost in My House

Why is OP starving his kids to the point where they have to stash pretzels all over the house?

I go with kids. Sometimes one will get on a hiding jag, and you'll never get a confession. Kids tend to be weird as shit, and sticky.

Then again, it's probably some big enormous crazy person with your house keys who gets in and wanders around, every night, while you sleep.

My money is on Briskettexan.

Seen as a symbol of good luck, prosperity and spiritual fulfillment, pretzels were also commonly distributed to the poor, as a way of providing them with both spiritual and literal sustenance.
By the 17th century, the interlocking loops of the pretzel had come to symbolize undying love as well.

Maybe OP is a crazy person and we are all just part of his elaborate self delusions he creates for himself at the insane asylum.

The same sort of thing happens at my parents house!  Except not pretzels, they find almonds in random spots in their basement.  My SiL is convinced the basement is haunted and will not set foot down there.  Works out fine for me, my pops and bro.  We have a pretty sweet man cave set up down there, that any inhabiting ghost is welcome to hang out in when it’s not in use

That’s a picky fucking mouse that only eats pretzels. At least he’s thoughtful enough to put the clip back on the bag after he’s served himself.

the mouse is clearly running off with small quantities of chex mix and is picking out the pretzels, which are the worst part of chex mix.

Nobody touches that Christmas shit in the back.  Nobody vacuums out their box.  Nobody seals it.  Dude, it's your wife fucking with you.  Just not the way you want.

I think I'm beginning to lean this way.  She's playing the long game toward getting you locked away in a padded room

I can't be the only contemplating what random food item to hide all over the house. 

When I was a kid, my parents made me eat a bunch vitamins every day. I had a dairy allergy so I didn't drink milk, so I was supposed to eat these chewable calcium pills that tasted like dust and dirt, along with some off-brand kids multivitamins and some assorted other crap. 

They were all varying degrees of terrible, except for some papaya flavored one, which I liked. 

Feeding them to the dog didn't work, so I began just putting them all in my mouth at once hamster-style at the end of breakfast, and then excusing myself from the table to go spit them out in the living room, where I would hide them behind the piano and under two couches. I did this every day for a couple of months. 

It was all a smooth operation until the day my parents decided to rearrange the furniture, when my piles of partially eaten vitamins were discovered, much to my father's fury and my mother's disgust and disappointment.

I did the same thing with penicillin. We had pink pills showing up for a year. Not sure how I lived through whatever i was taking antibiotics for.

I'm now 100% convince that @Ghost of LL is dealing with a mouse.

We've been working a skeleton crew at our office since March due to COVID.  Pretty much everyone is working from home.  I have to come in to the office a few times a week for misc stuff like checking the mail, signing checks, etc.  

One of my project managers has a ton of kids and nowhere to work from home, so he gets his admin stuff done at the office.   He called me last week and asked if I was playing a prank on him because he's found dog food in his printer paper tray twice in the last month.  I was baffled and said it wasn't me.  I usually take my dog with me to the office, and he has a sealed container of food that I keep in my office closet.  So, it was natural for him to suspect me.  But, it wasn't me.

Fast forward to this morning, and I went to our shop closet to grab some plastic for site protection.  I looked down and happened to notice about 30 pieces of dog food in a paint spray gun bag.  My dog doesn't always eat his food, and I never think to dump it back into the sealed container.  This HAS to be a mouse hoarding food.  Gotta be it.
