I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (the seatback menu card?) that the chocolate is available upon request.

This sounds complicated. No wonder the chocolate giving is inconsistent. Either way, I want the chocolate...

It certainly does. The more I read, the more I realize how little I understand this portion of the program. Likewise, I care more about the chocolate than the drinks & food, but not enough, at times, to have to ask or plead for it. Maybe their FAs find the policy as perplexing as we do?

Chocolate For Gold Alive and Well
On a West Coast flight last week in F, I asked for a Chocolate Bar for Gold. The FA went to the back and returned with a zip lock bag of Chocolate, offered me one, then proceeded to offer all F Passengers a bar of Chocolate, regardless of status 😯
These were the “Yellow” bars previously referred to, which are Milk Chocolate with Toasted Quinoa Sesame.

We have (once), as MVP, been able to barter our complementary alcohol (we don’t drink) for an MVPG chocolate. I haven’t tried other times, but it worked that time!

Lol, this shows people have different tastes. I thought the previous flavor was hot garbage so I wasn't eating my quinoa ones. Then two weeks ago I finally gave it a try (when I was travelling without having had lunch) and REALLY liked it. I'll take anyone's extra quinoa bars!
