You can take my leg room, airlines, but you can never have my Biscoffs
wasn’t reason enough to fly with someone else, this move has sealed the deal for me. I just can’t trust the safety rigors of a company with its snack priorities so obviously out of whack.
Look, Oreos are a perfectly fine everyday cookie and a bingeable masterpiece of a stoned cookie, but they’re a garbage airplane cookie. The Nabisco company put out an entirein 2011 promoting Oreos as “Milk’s Favorite Cookie,” because — and everyone knows this — the chocolate and cream sandwiches only really come alive when moistened with a bit of cold, liquid dairy. But, as I discovered once mid-flight while trying to sooth a screaming 16-month-old, milk is almost never offered on airplanes.
Then of course there are also those who are just not chocolate people — who prefer the understated warmth of butter and spice to the thunderous thwonk of cocoa . What of their high-altitude sweet tooth? Pretzels? Please, let these misguided souls have this one small thing. But the real magic of Biscoff cookies isn’t in what they are, but what they aren’t: Sweet but not crave-worthy, satisfying but not indulgent; delicious but not irresistible.
Just yesterday I was given pack of Biscoffs during an American Airlines flight home to LA. When I went to stash it away in my backpack for later, I found I still had the ones I saved from my outbound flight that I never got around to eating. Secure with the knowledge I’d not be without an emergency Biscoff should the need arise, I opened them right there and slid one of the cinnamon-colored ovals out of its sheath, snapped it in half, and ate it. Then I quickly scarfed the other.

Passenger Glued To Airplane Window Like It Fucking 1956DENVER—Appearing inexplicably mesmerized by the unremarkable scenery below, Delta flight 2127 passenger Richard Hart, 38, was glued to the window of the Airbus A321 “like it was fucking 1956,” travellers confirmed Tuesday. “Jesus, this guy is staring out that window as if the miracle of aviation was bestowed upon mankind just this morning,” said Hart’s row 27 seat-mate Hannah Gordon, who noted that the “goddamned simpleton” had audibly exclaimed in delight before making a “dumbass” observation about how small everything looked. “C’mon dude. We’re not flying PanAm in the golden age. We’re flying from Denver to Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, this dope is gaping at every cloud like he’s the third goddamn Wright brother. You’d think we were flying over the world’s fair or something. He’s even dressed up like he’s expecting a leggy stewardess to bring him a martini and light his cigarette before we land at Idlewild. What an asshole.” Airline sources confirm that Gordon spent the flight enjoying the Mark Wahlberg comedy Instant Family like a decent person.
