Delta Is Serving Pudding. Will Continental Follow?

to continue on the thread trend: "XXX Airlines Just Jumped Off a Bridge. Will CO Follow?"....there is a thread in the DL forum that discusses how DL is now serving pudding in their club lounges.

do you think CO will follow (or possibly attempt to match with doritos, biscotti, milanos, etc.)?

If they're copying anything from DL, I hope it's their superior wine, BE dedicated lounges and flat seats...not the pudding.

I thought we had threads discussing lounges and snacks. Search functionality must be broken. Or maybe this is a forum and we post up to date things in new threads as they happen.

Regardless, I hope Continental thinks about expanding the options available as snacks at the PC.

Even little single-serving packets of carrots or something would be a welcome addition. Pudding, I'm not really sold on, even though I love Snack Packs ^

let's lighten up, my friend.

as you would say to me, if you don't like the thread, move on. it was meant to allow people to chuckle and offer light hearted thoughts or to move on. enjoy your thursday.

BE lounges are being shut down in the near future.

^^ The WCs in MSP (possibly others?) have packets of carrots and they even put out small packets of ranch dressing. When I discovered them, it was very refreshing to see a healthy snack option.

I would be all for CO trading in the bags of chips for carrots - just don't touch my cheese!

I hope so. Pudding was one of the main draws that led me to bolt CO for DL in the first place.

I really like pudding. Especially Dutch pudding.

Due to the density and added weight of pudding having an adverse affect on CO's already overstretched 752s and 738s, I think we will see much lighter snacks in the future such as popcorn or nothing... I guess they could stock the planes with heavier snacks and then reload at their new Gander hub.

Anyhow, pudding is vile.

Most WC's have carrots and dressing.

Sort of. The one in CVG is going bye-bye. The ones in ATL and JFK will just be rebranded as CRCs. Supposedly, the food is staying and will be rolled out to the other CRCs in those locations, as well.
