Still a poor excuse for a 1440 mile flight snack, but best of a bad lot.

So the Pie in the Sky can be put (with packaging wrapper) in an oven but not a microwave?
What about if opened to prevent steam build-up? Is this prohibition because the plastic melts in a microwave but not in an oven? Can anyone explain this?

I was an unfortunate recipient of this box Wednesday ORD-PHX. Opened it, looked at the contents (vile - other than the parm crisps), handed it back to the FA, and asked politely for a TakeOff box from coach, which I received.

The Revive box should disappear and never be revived again!

Seeing that LAX is an attribute of this favorable news, do you guys think UA is being strategic? Been nothing but grub ORD-DEN/SFO lately. ORD-LAX is one of the very few major US city pairs with 3+ carriers non-stop. LAX is also the best UC in US when it comes to food, bar, terrace.

I've never had a "pie in the sky" so I don't know how wet it is, but I wouldn't think there would be that much steam coming out of a cookie-like object. Even if there was, the plastic will eventually open its own hole so that's not such a big deal.

HNL to LAX UA 1221
PDB of OJ or water. Choice was between French toast and egg white bites with potatoes, sausages and some tomato sauce. Croissant yogurt and bowl of mixed fruit. I thought the egg whites were gone from the system but I guess not.
Warmed up packaged cookies before arrival. Also requested to buy snack box post meal service but FA did not charge me for it.
My mom and I split our mains so we had a more complete breakfast than one having nothing but sugar and carbs. Taste wasn’t bad honestly.

Had the turkey sandwich tonight into LAS
Really good. Was piping hot. To the point it nearly burnt to the touch. Brought a bag of chips from the UC. Made it a decent dinner

Choice of Thai Chicken Curry, Cauliflower Croquettes with Orzo or Beef.
Tried the cauliflower option which was frankly awful. Tasted like the oven of the aircraft. Served with some too bitter to eat red cabbage and over cooked oily orzo. The Thai curry didn’t look as bad. I would’ve been happier with a tapas box or a Trader Joe’s microwave meal.
