The United Premier Snack Mix is Not Really Much of a Mix…

I don’t love pretzels. In fact, I somewhat dislike them. Most airlines stopped the peanuts due to the allergy craze, which seems to have come out of nowhere, and now they all serve pretzels. Lucky for me, my air carrier of choice serves a “premium snack mix.” I grabbed one at the RCC and stuffed it into my bag for a late night snack when I got to the hotel. Much to my chagrin, I opened it up and could only find pretzels! I dug through… still only pretzels! I decided to dump the bag out to see just how many pretzels were in there. Take a look at the pic below!

In this picture, I see a total of 21 pretzels. There are actually 22 pieces, but it looks like one piece broke in half. Then there are about 7 small fragments of “other” included in the “mix.” ONE almond… ONE almond! Here’s to hoping that United decides to mix up their mix in the near future….

well it looks like they will no longer be serving that on board. Now they will have kettle chips, Ghirradelli chocolates, fruit, and biscoff cookies instead in a “snack basket”. much better

Yep I do agree! I'm really loving all the subtle improvements UA has made recently!
