Oreo Thins are going mile high.
United Airlines announced on Friday that they will be serving the brand new option on all United and United Express flights as an on-board snack, replacing Biscoff cookies.
"Our complimentary snack options continue to be a hit and we’re always looking for opportunities to introduce new selections," spokesperson Andrea Hiller confirmed to USA TODAY. "We plan to add Oreo Thins into the mix soon and look forward to the response from our customers."

I'd really prefer to see something a little less carb/sugar-heavy in the comp snack selection... IMO it's a step in the wrong direction.
In an ideal world I would like to see a slightly differentiated E+ snack selection (maybe with some fresh items like bananas) but I would not be willing to trade what we have now for the DL C+ model.

I do like that they're Oreo thins instead of regular oreos. As much as I love the original, this is marginally better for you (i.e., not as bad) at only 140 calories per pack. They also make less of a mess.

Someone above mentioned bananas. Does UA not provide bananas in the snack basket? I thought bananas were present in the snack basket of the big three. I know for sure they are available on DL and remember reading at one time in the past a post in the AA forum mentioning bananas.

DL, AA, and AS will continue to offer Biscoff cookies.
B6 has chocolate chip cookies. That said, I used to barter the blue potato chips for Biscoff cookies with my Delta employee friends.
