Ok, I am not a frequent poster or browser, but have seen comments on the XOXO that I so dearly love being gone. I have not seen them in a few months either. BUT......last night, flying PHL-BDL on 757 at 635 pm with a loooooong delay, the FA brought out the basket and the XO's were there. It was a great find at the end of a troublesome and worrysome beginning. (FA's were upset that the door was opened 3 times with passengers added and they could not get the count correct after numerous times!)

Never experienced the XO's either. I have my heart racing everytime I fly US but I have never seen them. :(

Oh wait, my heart racing may be from the trashed plane that doesn't look that it should fly

XOXO also back on flight 782 SEA-PHL last Sunday!! :) Also a reasonably decent cheddar cheese omelette and fresh fruit - nicer than most of the recent offerings.

I had a couple last night on US1011 PHL to PHX.
I don't fly up front very often but it was nice to see them in the corner of the basket.

They are thin, wafer-y chocolate sticks. Very sweet, with some crunch and a little bit of creaminess. And very addictive.

And here's another store in the Pittsburgh strip district that I've seen them for sale by the pack on their main counter... http://www.mikefeinbergcompany.com/index.html

I'm sorry, but I have to ask...is there a correct pronunciation to XOXO? Like "zho-zho"? or "zo-zo"? Or are they just called x-o-x-o?

"x-o-x-o" is the assumed pronounciation... but ask any US regular and we just call them "heaven". ;)

I have heard about XOXO on this board for weeks. Finally got some at the Envoy Club in PHL. It was kinda like Twix candy bar, no big deal. I did grab four of them for my TA flight though. ;)

I got some XOXOs from Apex before Christmas as a gift for an addict and they were stale (Apex refunded). I just called them and they are still selling from the same batch they received in October (but mine could have been from a pre-Oct batch?).

This is terrific news, since we haven't seen them for a few months.
I fly to LAX next week and will be looking forward to collecting from the basket in F....sure hope that upgrade comes through. I can't bear the thought of the return of the XOXOs and hearing the oooohs and ahhhs in F while I turn green in back.

I missed them sooooo much!!! And to think, they are back now..... but wait until the warm weather.... They will be gone as quick as they returned. Then we will have to wait until fall again :)

XO's on board US 741, PIT to SFO today. And the salad with dinner was even fresh.

Judging by the reappearance after a dry spell of the xoxo, it might have to do with the catering changes at the beginning of the month. More than likely this modified their catering contract which allowed for changes in xoxo supply.

The XOXO's were a "no-show" in F/C on BOTH flights from LGA-DCA and DCA-LGA yesterday...

Darn. I was anxiously peering into the basket yesterday SFO-PHL. Nada. Still trying to decipher the logic here......
XOXO's on all flights, please!

Maybe the reason they had been missing is that US didn't want the infamous stale October batch... so we had to wait for a fresh batch to be produced.
Hey, at least it sounds like a good reason. :p

Or maybe somebody in Tempe is lurking on this board.
