I, too experienced a fantastic snack basket today on an AM departure from PHX.
Plenty of the Michel et Augustin cookies, PopCorners and the other favorites. Still not the treasure hunt it used to be, but definitely improved. Seems like the new management in that department has heard us and is upping their game a bit.
The final proof will be if we see that same quality in the flights ex-ATL, as that has been identified as a weak snack-basket stocking station in prior posts. On ATL-PHX in F last week, we did not even see the snack basket at all.

It’s been so strange: I’ve flown ATL -> GRR and back 8 times this month. On those routes (both out and back) I’ve had the Michel et Augustine cookies on every single basket. But NONE of my other routes have had it (including hub to hub ATL/DTW/MSP) (about 16 other FC legs).
Are certain routes “premium?” (Not that I consider GRR a premium...though there are a LOT of DMs there)

Those Michel et Augustin cookies are seriously good. I remember the first time I saw them in the basket and looked at it and the FA said, they are really good, you should try them. Always get some if they are available.
What really irritates me is if there aren't any real potato chips, not poppers or any other sort of similar.
I must confess I am also a big Cheez-It fan. I actually put one or two small bags in my luggage when I travel because they are perfect for late night.

Was just on DTW-GRR (120 miles) on a regional. The snack basket had everything including the Poppers chips, bananas, Oreos, and the Michel et Augustine cookies. VERY surprised because normally on this route, FC only gets a very small basket of Biscoff, nuts, and maybe the granola bars (the standard snacks) due to the short flight. The flight attendants were surprised too.
