I wish they'd bring back the Sanders salted chocolate caramels. Loved 'em! As a related aside, my parents met at the Sanders flagship store in downtown Detroit, in 1936, when my dad was in law school at DCL and my mom worked behind the counter when he would visit for lunch. The eventually became friends with the owner, Fred Sanders.

I mainly like the pita chips. They have crunch at least, whereas the kettle chips & snack mix have no taste and often seem stale to me.
About the only thing I like consistently are the Biscoff cookies.

It seems to me by request you should always be able to get a snack available in Coach.
But I am glad they are moving (back) to national brands for the snacks in F, It shows a higher quality or calibre of products. Additionally, I wish they would add some non-carb heavy options - almonds are a nice addition!

Yuck, hate cheeze its. But I am looking forward to my Augustin fix this week. Makes flying into a pretty small town in the Midwest (and connecting via ATL) almost worth the trip.

Put me in the camp of liking the snack mix, only problem was the small portion size. The pita chips weren't bad, I actually liked them, but not nearly as much as the Garden salsa sun chips .... funny thing though, when at a grocery store, I couldn't care less ... oddly, I only find them appealing when in the snack basket, lol

They are the Made with Whole Grain Cheez-Its. If you don't like them, Delta has said they will be rotating the snacks other than Biscoffs on a periodic basis.

Do they still have the Kind granola bars? We need gluten free for one of my family members. That snack mix was decent for GF.

I think they wanted to give people who are gluten intolerant a savory option in terms of snacks.
I am definitely of the camp that loves the current snack mix. I can seriously eat like 6 servings -- and I'm not even gluten intolerant! :P

I’ve no idea what a Cheez-it is, but I have a hard time imagining it as an upgrade in an F cabin, based on the name alone!

Seems to me like they aren't coming around as often with the snack tray though. It was offered once just before landing between SLC - ATL and only once on the 4.5 hour flight MCO - SLC.

The snack mix was great! It was also gluten free, so I could eat it.
Oh, I'll still eat the Cheez-its, but I"m going to suffer as a result.

I do not have any reason to consume less gluten, however I prefer gluten free pretzels over normal ones.
I like the variety of the snack mix within one snack choice.
As another poster already mentioned the name alone doesn't imply an upscale experience. Would you like a biscoff or a chezit? They don't belong together, like if you went to a nice restaurant and the dessert menu had creme brulee or chocolate pudding.
Not to knock on Chezits, just seems more Southwest than Delta.
