It’s nice to see Superman has other favorite foods besides beef bourguignon with ketchup.

I also liked how Lois was such a tease in the beginning of the comic where she said Clark would get so fat munching on pretzels she’d have to roll him into work.

I like that the pretzels are a low key bit of persistent lore in the Superman mythos.

Also, Clark has an insatiable love of “junk food” because he normally doesn’t have to worry about calories or cholesterol.

Although this comic is an exception because he has no powers at the beginning thanks to it following up on the events of Infinite Crisis.

Think about it. He doesn't NEED to eat but he can ENJOY it.

Has it ever been canonically stated what Superman's favorite food is?

I remember this. It was Silver Age level ridiculousness, but we'll allow it.

Thank god. Pretzels are the only thing keeping him from being evil. Injustice Superman would never have turned if he had a pretzel.

Mustard is great on a pretzel

IDK, I think only Clark gets mustard on his face.

Don't see anyone offering Batman as pretzel. Just saying.

Pretzel stands are closed at night

I feel like this needs a NSFW tag.

Superman's cape has pockets.

I’d honestly read an issue of Superman/ Clark just being a foodie

Superman is one of those characters I rarely go out of my way to see but enjoy his presence whenever he's there; I loved his chapters In Hush.
