I long for the days when IAD-BOS (413 miles) on the DC-10 was a hot dinner. But now it's "Too short for FAs to provide a meal service."
BOS-ORD was one of those "we have significant competition on this route" routes that served a meal. The whole 2020 thing changed that.

I remember (and miss) back in the late 2010s when "snack" on United meant a light cold meal such as a noodle dish, and the snack basket was coded as "Refreshments"
