+1 I love Kettle too - that would be a gourmet product befitting of F.

I can dig it. And I'll add my flavor of choice to the list. I love the Kettle Salt and Vinegar. What makes it even better is that almost all of my friends detest them (I have no idea why), which mean I don't have to share.

If anyone is going through CVG, stop at Gold Star Chili and get some chili and bring it on board to make a frito pie.

Perhaps, the end point is displayed below. The FC PAX will be able to pass the can from row to row, and dig into the can for whatever amount they want.

In a related move, the Walker's Shortbread cookies and Biscoffs could be replaced by the mini versions of Moon Pies, but you will get a choice of the chocolate or banana flavors.

Moon Pies

Mmmmm. Frito pie...

If we get moon pies, we had also better get RC Cola

I have had kettle chips in F on the hot sandwich lunch trays 3x in the last week. Much better than greasy Lays.

I confess, I love Kettle chips too. But just give me the plain Kettle chips with sea salt.

What I don't like is the sacrilege that Delta has been trying to pass off as Walker shortbread cookies. Chocolate chips should be forever banished from them. The chocolate totally overpowers the subtle notes of butter and haggis.

Seriously? You didn't know this? Delta (and other airlines) have to figure out the legitimate complaints from the rest of the stuff and pretty much every move they make people ..... about it to no end. I just read recently how they are really going downhill lately...I have read about that the entire time I have been here. Unfortunately for the members here, it appears their business is going uphill lately.

Of course not.

I believe it belongs right here. It just goes back to if they don't change the snack basket then people will complain about it being the same all of the time and if they do change it then why couldn't they leave well enough alone.

I wonder why Delta doesn't serve the original plain butter version from Walker - is the chocolate chip a "dumbing down" for American palates?

Well, actually...

I can't believe I didn't see the setup for that. This is one of those "I see what you did there" moments.

The issue is, Its hard to have any chip products that aren't Frito-lay.... I mean just look at your local supermarket. The bulk of the chips will be something owned by Frito-lay.

I'd love to see them add Cape Cod Chips to the snack basket. (IIRC is not a Pepsi company)
