I can understand that it's a loss for passengers who actually received a Stroopwaffel. I have never received one. I will not receive one of the new maple wafers. I will not receive a Stroopwaffel when they rotate back in. I will not receive a Biscoff if they rotate them in. On the CR2s that I fly in the morning, they give nothing. On the CR2s that I fly in the evening, they give nothing. On other planes, I have gotten pretzels. Now, they give me tapas boxes on longer flights.
But I do know the Stroopwaffels: a friend gave me two cans when he came back from the Netherlands.
