Slam Dunk! To celebrate everyone’s favorite month-long, college basketball tournament, Auntie Anne’s is giving away one bucket of freshly baked Pretzel Nuggets or Mini Pretzel Dogs to a Pretzel Perks app member for every single basket scored during the tournament.

Every. Single. Basket. 

Pretzel Perks members will be automatically entered to win a free Pretzel Bucket – just download the app before the final buzzer of the championship game for a chance to score. 

“Nothing pairs better with game-watching than golden brown, freshly baked pretzels! Knowing how much fans missed their favorite tournament last year, it was important that we celebrate its return in a big way,” said Cynthia Liu, Vice President of Marketing, Auntie Anne’s.  “At Auntie Anne’s, we’re all about turning a simple moment into one that’s simply unforgettable. We’re thrilled to offer fans more ways to celebrate the tournament all in the comfort of their home.”

Everyone can get in on the action by trying their luck with three ways to score:
