Good Bye Arizona Iced Tea
A Flight Attendant told me this week that he was informed that Arizona Iced Tea was being discountinued.......Apparently it will only be around for a few more weeks. That's a bummer....It was my beverage of choice. Reduced bonus miles...now this! When will this madness end?

This is the one of the best non-alcoholic options. People never notice that it's on the beverage menu and they give you looks when you're drinking one while their downing a cran-apple.
I did notice, however, when the FA gave me a full can last week that the amount of sugar in this stuff is mind boggling.
Soon you're going to tell me that the Ceasar Salad with cold chicken and stale garlic bread is gone!
If I had to choose, the ice-tea would stay - the salad is getting old.

Why?
Did they say why is was being discontinued? Seems a shame to discontinue something branded with the states name.
They better not discontinue the Gold Nut Mix that F pax get on short flights. I'll really be pissed then.

I assume other elites have said the same because I've seen FAs with trays with both options and they offer whichever they prefer to the F pax.

My opinion on Gold Nut Mix -
Hate it. I usually ask for for pretzels or pass on the snack. They were passing out Atkin's bars in F not too long ago as well.....what's up with that? Yuk.....

Sweetened tea is disgusting.
As for the gold mix, it's OK. I much prefer the days when America West served Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds in First Class. The worst snack item was the buttermilk stick.

I just finished a 4day trip and didn't serve a single AZ tea. Very few people order it.
FC pax are split pretty much 50/50 on the love/hate with the Gold snacks.
I am one who offers a selection on a tray, so I have a pretty good idea of what goes. There's always at least a couple who take 2nds, 3rds on the Gold mix. The Biscoffs are still popular.
I loved the Smoked almonds, too, but unless some company wants to put them on for promo, they're too expensive
I think those low-carb bars were a promo deal.

That plus a little cranapple or white wine if I'm in the mood.

The Biscoff's are the best... they're supposed to be available only in the morning. The way to get an A&B has in one case had to do with finding Biscoff's for me on an overnight flight... the FA seemed to have a personal stash for those who asked - and a big stash at that!
