Number 2 is not upside down. There seems to be no real consensus on what is “up” for a pretzel, but one alleged origin indicates that the pretzel was shaped after praying hands in the middle ages, which would mean 2 is right side up. Also, when they are made in a bakery, due to how the technique is done, they are placed like in 2, and that direction is also reflected on some more traditional bakery signs.

This sounds like a fabrication straight from Big Pretzel. What are you going to claim next, that pretzel sticks don’t have a right side up either?
