I didn't notice that one either... nutella and carrots were a pretty tasty snack that was relatively healthy, although the ranch dip choice and hummus is still available which are good as well. I'd probably end up having a cup of soup and some salad.

Basically glad to see a few more offerings that are not all carbs. That sugar high an hour later should go away now.

Looks like the Biscoff is being removed I hope it was an oversight on their menu.

I was in the SFO SC a few weeks ago and the bartender said she heard it was being removed.

I haven't been in FLL since the May 1 changes, but most of the clubs have been a lot less crowded that I go to. Most noticeably DCA, DTW clubs and ORD. More times than not at DTW I will see Am Ex cardholders trying to bring in guests and when they are told it's $29 each they just walk out instead of paying--this is helping a lot.

The Am Ex changes alone are a true enhancement since I can find a seat now.

Are "fresh bagels" replacing the current wonder bread bagels (which I'm convinced have a 5 year shelf life)?

I actually don't mind the bagels. A couple minutes in the toaster to warm them up, and then they have the structural integrity to handle enormous quantities of cream cheese.

Yeah the parm spread is good, but sometimes a piece of cheese is a nice snack on the run.

Glad to see some soups. Hoping that they'll have a mix of light/reduced calorie greek yogurts along with the normal, since the normal yoplait greek is pretty high in calories. Huge plus on the salad.
What are us "Cheasseheads" going to do. Do we need to start another write in campaign like the one that was done when they tried to replace the real cheese with the fake stuff?

I like the look of this!

But the cynic in me is wondering how they'll have all this in place by tomorrow when just last week (I think) there was another thread where people were saying SC staff had no idea if or when the enhancements would be rolled out. Surely at least a few days of prep/notice to frontline staff would be necessary?

No where near as good as the Garrett's but I'm sure has a lot fewer calories.
I like Skinny Pop.

Not bad at all for bagged popcorn and light on the calories.

The crowd reduction is CLEAR in my experience.

Makes the United Clubs seem like homeless shelter soup kitchens!

LAX and ATL clubs did not seem noticeably less crowded to me in May and June of this year, but it's good to hear there has been a noticeable effect. ^

The e-mail announcement just now arrived in my inbox.

As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, there's nothing revolutionary in this announcement that is convincing me to change my mind on renewing my SC membership when it's up at the end of September.
