Terra Blues (and Sweets)?
I wasn't happy when JetBlue switched from the Terra Blues to the mixed Terra Blues + Sweets, as Sweet Potatoes are an abomination, but I dealt with it to get my Terra Blues.
But for the past few months they haven't had these either, with the FA's telling us they aren't making them any more?
I can get the Blues from Amazon or many other vendors, can't JetBlue do the same???

There was a recall on the Terra chips not too long ago. They're still on hold from what I've been told. It had to do with the oil on the chips going bad.
Some stations have recently started catering the original Terra Blues

I need to know those stations! I have no trips planned beyond January -- too many options-- this will help me narrow down my choices!

The oil on the Sweets and Blues had gone rancid from what I was told. Besides it just being a poor batch I suppose, it normally would not be a problem. However, the chips were not being consumed quickly enough, and the temperature and pressure changes from being on an airplane apparently exacerbated the issue.
I enjoyed the straight up Blues; I thought they were so much better than the mixed variety. I used to put hot sauce on them

Just as an FYI, I saw a photo of a flight a day or two ago catered in JFK with original Terra Chips (not Blues, but the multi-colored variety ones).
They got Even More® Stingy since September when they started quadruple-catering flights. One cater should last four flights, they say.

I always give a low rating for "the quality and quantity of snacks provided to you" on the post flight survey and then in the comments box, I tell them that I'd like for them to stop being stingy with the catering. I wonder how long it will be before they remove that question
