Those fig bars are sold at Costco in a variety pack (Blueberry, Raspberry and Fig). They are good, and reasonably good for you, as far as fig bars go.

I've had KIND bars before (actually never from a UA box but I like that they are in them) given that the nutrition info/options on them seem a bit more healthy than Nature Valley and other things you may see on the shelves.
The Madagascar Vanilla Almond one is great!

Yes...but I would never use the Smucker's. May as well just spread some wet sugar on something. However, I would say if I saw some artisanal looking packaging on a decent tasting jam I would probably stop and actually pick up a full size container if I saw it at the grocery store and see what it's all about.
YA HEAR THAT MARKETING TEAM?

Had you kindly said something you probably would've gotten a second, replacement snack box for free.
Read the OP a little more carefully.

On the outbound flight, the OP was in economy & purchased the Tapas box. It had olives and almonds, as it should have.

On the return flight, the OP was in FC and received the complimentary PM snack box. It does not have olives and almonds in it. It is a different product than the Tapas box.

Therefore, there was not an "earnest" (sic) mistake by the FA. In fact, there was no mistake of any kind by the FA.

The OP has acknowledged that he/she was mistaken. Good for him/her.

End of story.
