United Airlines has delighted passengers with the return of a popular treat: the Stroopwafel. This Dutch delicacy, a thin waffle cookie filled with caramel, is now available on flights exceeding 300 miles as part of the complimentary Economy food and beverage service. The airline's decision to reinstate the treat follows passenger inquiries and online discussions about its absence.
Last year, a Reddit user in the "r/unitedairlines" forum questioned the Stroopwafel's disappearance, highlighting its replacement with a "weird chocolate quinoa thing." This sparked a wave of comments from fellow flyers, some demanding the waffle's return, others planning to distribute them personally on future flights, and a few expressing dislike for the overly sweet treat.
The airline's announcement on social media generated positive reactions, with travelers expressing excitement and relief. Many declared the Stroopwafel their favorite airline snack, praising its pairing with hot coffee. The snack's official return date to select United flights was February 1st.
