I guess a single measly basket is all they can afford on those massive 777's??

And it's not just key lime cookies in short supply. Chicago popcorn, belgian wafer cookies, you name it... you can count the number of each on one hand. The supply situation is so bad, I wait right after a meal for them to stock the galley, then buzz away with a hoard of my favorites!
Probably just gradually weening customers off of them as they prepare to remove them all together and align with US, just like the domestic segment.
