You mean the United napkins will read (and have illustrations to go along with):

"In case you don't have a mask, you can make one out of this napkin.
United - We Really Move Our Tail For You"

Who doesn’t like a brand new napkin: I love the smell. However, they need to invent a mask that prevents eyeglasses from fogging over. Maybe I’ll look for that travel gripe thread.

new napkins today, seagrams branded. It’s cheesy to need a sponsor for napkins, but these do look much better than the coca-cola branded ones from a few years ago.

These are the best looking sponsor branded napkins they've had, I think.

I think it's funny the new napkins have coincided with a dearth of ginger ale. There hasn't been more than a can or two per aircraft all month, and often none at all.

Before Covid, I would agree, where FAs were so hesitant to give you the entire can. This has changed on the dozen+ UA flights I have been on...here is a cup and a can - my job's done.

It is sad that United doesn’t do quality control reviews for their designs. They’re getting better, and it really doesn’t take much extra effort to QC these sorts of things, but as a multi-billion dollar corporation, ensuring their brand conveys quality would be beneficial to the carrier. The poor quality printing (note the muddled E in United) is also disappointing.

Far superior to the Coke napkins. 🙂

Whether due to criticism or just a short-term (holiday?) deal, I don't see the nice(r) Seagrams napkins any longer. Just a kind of blah design PSA about masks (helpful, maybe, but not very good looking).

Boo. I really like the Segram's one, simple yet not-in-your face.

More freakin' credit card push, as if on-board announcements are not enough already (not UA specific, almost industry wide).
