Juice is coming back according to the memos released. Delta gets most of their juices from Coke brand Minute Maid so they should be included with their Coke contract. I’m not sure if Coke offers Minute Maid products in a 7.5oz mini can so perhaps juices will come in the standard 12oz can?
As a type 1 diabetic (who is always prepared for a low blood sugar), I wonder what Delta is doing if someone is a diabetic or hypoglycmic and has a low and they don't happen to have something to treat it now that they have no juice or regular soda on board.

Actually OJ is something I would rather in a smaller can since I don't like to drink more than 8 oz.

However, if I ever encounter anyone like this in the air, I ALWAYS placate them with compliments, if I want good service.

The first aid kits might also stock oral glucose gel. Orange juice would be dramatically preferable to anyone conscious.

They may have a contract with Coke. I would be VERY surprised if they went with Pepsi seeing Coke and Delta are both huge Atlanta companies and Coke has pouring rights at ATL and DTW airports. I always thought Delta was in bed with Coke like they were Am Ex

IV glucose is something you don't want to give a diabetic unless they are totally passed out and even then you should glive glucagon first. I know Delta doesn't have blood glucose readers in their first aid kits because one time someone got sick on board and they paged asking if a medical professional was on board and there was a paramedic and they made an announcement asking if someone had a blood meter and I allowed them to use mine.

The problem with that work-around is the TSA response to limit what liquid quantity you can carry through security. It's only lasts me about 1 hr in flight
I can see people sneaking filled up minis or booze from home and mixing their own drinks on board with the mixers.

The employee memo posted to the Reddit link someone posted up thread specifically mentioned that Coke itself would be catered so they were definitely involved in the contract in some way. Obviously they could decide to use a different juice vendor.

I hope they return the mini's to First and C+ at least and don't have only the canned cocktails. The times I've had the premixed cocktails they've been too sugary. I have no issues if I'm given the mixer and a couple mini's and told to mix the drink myself like NK used to do, and in fact would prefer to mix the drink myself. Sucks that Fresca isn't coming back since I like Fresca and Vodka and COke zero is my preferred soda.
Also think it's being cheap having the smaller cans of soda, but I'll just for two cans.

Depends on which airport you regularly fly out of. I’ve found the ATL TSA agents at the pre-check lanes are much more lax than others. I regularly carry more than what fits in a 1 quart bag and never have any trouble.

I didn't think they made it in the small cans. They may not be making it right now, I know you can't get flavored coke zero or flavored diet coke right now, I asked the coke rep who was stocking the shelves at Kroger one time about it and he said there was a shortage of alunimum due to covid but not sure why they still couldn't make it in 2 liters or 20 oz plastic bottles.

I've also heard of people rinsing out a empty small saline solution bottle and putting vodka in that and telling TSA it's for medical reasons for contacts and getting it through but I think that's pushing it

This is the same reason why Jif stopped making reduced fat peanut butter for awhile; I am not surprised Coke pared back the poorest selling varieties, like flavored Coke Zero or flavored Diet Coke.
It takes them significant down time to close retool an assembly line for these other products and they would rather not lose the capacity because their competitors are doing it, too, so they know that those who used to buy flavored Coke Zero will just buy regular Coke Zero.
Fresca may be on a temporary pause because they made consider they have alternatives within their lineup that sell better at the moment.
