Now, you might think, "Who doesn't love Auntie Anne's?" but hearing Oprah's reaction is pure gold. Ava recounted this unforgettable moment to E! News, saying, “One day I came in and I was like, ‘This pretzel is so good.’ Her eyes lit up, and she was like, ‘Oh my God, this pretzel is incredible! Who’s the chef? Which bakery?’” It’s moments like these that remind us of Oprah's genuine curiosity and love for life’s little joys.
Why Auntie Anne's Pretzels Made Oprah Smile
When Ava told Oprah about the humble origins of these delightful pretzels, the conversation took an amusing turn. "I said, 'Yeah, so regular people have to walk through an airport to get to their flights, usually,'" Ava recalled with a laugh. Oprah’s reaction was priceless, as her eyes sparkled with the excitement of discovering something new. This exchange not only highlights Oprah's ability to find joy in the everyday but also her willingness to embrace experiences that many might take for granted.

Oprah's Unique Lifestyle: Not Quite Like the Rest of Us
This isn't the first time we've heard that Oprah doesn't quite live like the rest of us. As one of the most successful women in the world, her experiences are often far from the norm. In a recent interview with E! News, Oprah admitted that she doesn't know how to pump her own gas. "I gotta just say, I wouldn’t know what to do," she confessed, sparking laughter from Reese Witherspoon, who encouraged her, "You would, it would come back to you!" Oprah also shared a funny anecdote about taking someone to the airport and reminding them to have their ticket, only to be met with confusion because, well, paper tickets are a thing of the past!
Oprah's Everyday Adventures
Despite her extraordinary lifestyle, Oprah does partake in some everyday activities. For instance, she gets her own coffee! In a lighthearted moment during an interview, Mindy Kaling joked about writing "Oprah" on a Starbucks cup. Oprah shared her own recent experience: "I just went two days ago and the woman said, 'Name?' and I said, 'Oprah,' and she said, 'How do you spell that?'" Can you even imagine? Now, we officially have to keep an eye out for Oprah not just at Starbucks but also at Auntie Anne’s, where she might be enjoying her newfound love for pretzels.
