Honey Roasted Peanuts to be replaced with...

LGA-MCO today. During the pre-lunch snack basket service the FA tells me that the Honey Roasted Peanuts are toast. Tomorrow they are being replaced with almonds...

Makes sense... Until those with almond allergies complain...

I am grabbing all of the HRPs and plan to sell them on Ebay. Unless I eat them first.

Market them as DM HRP's, that should double the price.

Any suggestions as to the opening bid?

Well, they're not **D1** DM HRPs, so no more than $15/bag.

I'll be happy to see this change. I prefer almonds to peanuts and will be epecially happy if the almonds aren't coated in sugar.

I think peanut allergies are more common than allergies to tree nuts (peanuts are a legume), so this change might reduce the frequency of banning nuts from a plane because of allergic individuals.

I liked the honey peanuts... hope the almonds are good too.
Maybe they'll keep them in the F basket

BOI-SLC yesterday afternoon, the snack basket had what I assume are the new almonds. I liked them, but my only complaint was that it was a much smaller portion than the honey roasted peanuts, which I also really liked.

My next comment was that (price of almonds) > (price of peanuts) generally, so...

Since cost is a function here of price and quantity (cost = p * q), since price is going up, your quantity needs to go down in order for the cost to stay the same.

Me too. Maybe I should buy one of the enormous containers of Planter's Peanuts from Sam's and carry that on board.

I like being surprised. Don't really care if they change or not

Were they plain Almonds or did they have some flavoring with them?
