Costco sells a nut mix that is, as far as I can tell, identical to the mixed nuts AA serves. I had the Costco mixed nuts the other day, and I really could not tell the difference between their mixed nuts and the AA mixed nuts -- same types of nuts, same makeup (number of each nut). I warmed them up, and they tasted exactly the same.
Maybe I'm nuts, but I think that AA's mixed nuts come from the same place as Costco's mixed nuts.

I usually carry a baggie with the Costco nuts in my carry-on for when I get hungry while traveling -- If this sweet-nuts thing is a permanent change then I'll just ask them to heat up my own nuts for me!

This is the other shoe dropping. I/O/Q are now EVIP upgradeable - but the nuts are sugar coated. Seems fair to me.

I liked the nut mix as it was and for wife was always one of the highlights of flying F.

On flight 178 from SFO to JFK in J right now, and there are no sugar-coated nuts in sight. It's the same mix as it has always been. It's nice to see that they are actively refilling the dishes too.
And gogo was free! There's a new promo code for new users. Seems to also work for users that have "forgotten" which email address they used last trip.

Sugar coating the warm mixed nuts won't "fly" for me! One of my favorite delights in life will be sent back. Ugh.
Why mess with something that isn't broke, and is so personal and noteworthy?

Regular nuts served tonight on AA 875 IND to DFW. I guess they were using old stock? On a different note, the FA was a dead ringer for Majel Roddenberry when she was playing a nurse on Star Trek. That captain's chair looked very good.

You know, just today I was thinking that it had been a while since the posting of a food thread.

Regular nuts for me today as well (MIA-SJU).
I did notice that they came in a wine glass and not the standard ramekin, but I am sure that was just a catering goof.
