"More twists than a pretzel factory" = nhiều cú xoắn hơn cả xưởng bánh quy xoắn; twist còn là bóp méo, xuyên tạc, cố ý làm sai ý nghĩa -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không đáng tin, không trung thực.

Ví dụ
The Syria crisis continues to spawn more twists than a pretzel factory. Two things are clear: Footage of families writhing and dying in agony (đau đớn cực độ) from poison gas attacks by the Assad regime has not stirred Americans' outrage, and without it, no relief for suffering Syrians is in sight.

In the letter, Rampedi said that his story, which has had more twists than a pretzel factory, put his colleagues in an “awkward position”. He maintained however that the babies do in fact exist, and said that while he hadn’t felt the need to verify Sithole’s pregnancy or treat the story as an investigation, the couple had “no reason to lie to him”. The Department of health in Gauteng and MediClinic have denied that there are any records of the births having taken place.

The Flight Attendant doesn’t waste a second of its opening 45-minute episode, sucking you in with Cassie’s wild lifestyle and then throwing in a dead body mystery to seal the deal. It's witty (hóm hỉnh, dí dỏm) and occasionally surreal (kỳ quái), with a crackling fast-paced plot and a soundtrack from Blake Neely that lifts the tension levels into the stratosphere (tầng bình lưu). And if you're looking some unexpected plot turns, The Flight Attendant has got more twists than a pretzel factory.
