I should do the same. Probably not worth the time, but maybe there will be enough hate mail in the pile to make a difference.

I made the mistake of looking to see how much SODIUM is in the Bloddy Mary Mix! DANG! Do wonder I always feel thirstier AFTER drinking it than before!

Excellent. Sir Anderson can psych up for email from 60 million NW passengers asking where the Pepsi/Diet Pepsi went.

Do yourself a favor and don't look up the nutritional info on those little Biscoffs.

Exactly. I don't mind the spiciness of Bloody Mary Mix so much as the sodium. It's definitely no substitute for tomato juice.

And they no longer offer cheese/crackers anymore either. Can't count how many time that has been my lunch. Biscoffs or sun chips just aren't the same!

Lunch? On many first class flights where I had a tight connection the cheese crackers and tomato juice were my dinner. Now it will likely be peanuts and Woodford Reserve.

Tried a mojito once... tasted like they had used the whole mint plant... including the roots and the mud.
Yup. I love the signature cocktails. I get one on almost every flight!

Wait...what.... Granted the Biscoff Crack Cookies aren't health food...but they can't be THAT bad....I eat a lot of those...(hence the Crack Cookie nickname!)...

BTW why is it in the CRC they have those wimpy little Biscoff and not the big nice two packs they give onboard!

I've been flying NW a lot and have really missed the signature cocktails on DL!

Didn't they get rid of most of them, at least on-board?

All they have now are the peanut butter crackers. They are my current meal of choice.

I think that two pack on the plane has ~160 calories if I remember correctly. Just seems crazy to me with how it doesn't seem like a lot for 160 calories. The problem is they are that damn good that you can't eat just one pack.. I really like making key lime pie with them (squeeze of lime juice).
