Bye bye apple bars?
On 1240 ORD-DTW this morning in F, and the F/A brought around a box/tray with assorted snacks instead of that nasty apple bar. Had bananas, a couple types of granola bars and some other things. Anyone notice this on other flights? Is this a permanent change or just a test?

The testing for this on shorter flights started in early September. It seems to be hitting more flights now.

Thanks - I had forgotten about that test. I was 1/2 asleep this AM so didn't select a snack. Let's hope for my EUA for Thursday and another tasty snack basket instead of nuts ^

I had the expanded basket on a 4pm JFK-DTW today. Quite a lot of selection - chips, nuts (I think), candy of some sort, Oreos, apples and Banana.
Bravo Northwest for offering fruit!

This morning going DTW-LGA the new snack mixture even included blueberry muffins. The selection was pretty good both directions, and I did notice some apple bars in there too.
What did not impress me was the cardboard box used as a serving tray!
