It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it, it's usually in the back of the basket behind the chips and the packaging looks similar enough from a quick glance. It was there at least the last few months of 2018 until last week, RIP.

Also, I just flew EZE-MIA last night on a 77W and the jerky was one of the items set up to take from the business class self-service area.

THIS IS INSANE.
Three snack basket segments in regional J today:
10:05 a.m. DCA-SDF (PSA) -- jerky. Unfortunately I was in 4A so it (along with most of the basket) was taken before the basket reached me. But awesome FA, unprompted, said thanks for being EXP and asked if I wanted a Power Bites box, which has the jerky. So I got my fix.
7:33 p.m. SDF-CLT (PSA) -- jerky. Had a bag. Delightful.
10:12 p.m. CLT-DCA (Republic) -- no jerky! Asked the FA if there was any jerky. FA looked at me like I was a loonie (or a jerk, perhaps). What the heck! After segment two I was thinking there was just a temporary scarcity but now I have no idea what to think!
