I am currently commuting through Amsterdam every week (= 4 flights on KLM per week) within Europe and I have to say... Why in the world is it only TUC und Prince??? Why? Has some intern ordered a hundered billion of each and now KLM passengers need to eat TUC and Prince until the year 2019? Why can't they have something different every week, just like any other airline? Just something different? I remember KLM TUC/Prince from late 2007 and it has not changed since then. Why? Why? Why?

Anyone else suffering from being overfed with TUCs and Princes?

Rant over.
I think it's KLM trying to emulate US airlines (and we all know what a great role model they are ) Can anyone who has flown DL more than once look at a bloody Biscoff biscuit without fear for their life? Apparently, US airlines have decided that customers like reassuring brands, which means known names (rather than quality) and always the same. That brought the dreaded Uncle Ben's ready meals on KL long haul until they were replaced by something barely better. The truth of the matter is that KL has barely more understanding of the concept of good food than industrials specialising in pet food would. No good...
