So true! I just ate a branded "Uno's Pizza" at an airport "snack bar". It was AWFUL -- doughy and tasteless! It didn't do justice to the Uno's name.

On the other hand, I remember early am flights on UA when the whole plane smelled like Starbucks when we boarded. The coffee was great! I'm surprised that Starbucks pulled it. The more likely excuse is that UA was cannibalizing the ever-present airport Starbucks cafe!!
