United’s website still lists, Cran Apple as an option (https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly...beverages.html) but it looks like it has disappeared on-board.

Funny enough, if I was in a restaurant, and was presented with the option of cranberry juice or cran-apple, I would certainly get plain Cranberry, but for some reason, the Cranberry juice onboard the flights I took tasted inferior to the Cran Apple that I’ve had for years. The Tomato Juice paradox, I guess!

Obviously, this is the least of anyone’s problems nowadays, but it was still a surprise. Anything we can attribute this to?


Too many people making "Pandemic Panics"?
