What was that I read in the email -- we're supposed to buy the snack boxes? Raise your hand if you've ever actually bought one on the line...

At Delta we're not even supposed to be allowed big water bottles.. we're supposed to drink like ten of the 6oz first class ones instead.

Cold brew is hit and miss at the airport.

If you like ice coffee, you can also order an iced americano... hard to screw up espresso, water, and ice.

I had one at the airport yesterday that was still nasty after replacing about 1/3 of it with half n' half.

IMO they should dilute it for you if you buy a cup at the airport. If you buy a gallon at the grocery store, that's different.

Agreed. If it’s coming to you in a cup it should be ready to drink- canned I’d expect to dilute.

Y’all are right. It’s not the greatest. But, since they sent an unsigned email saying not to drink it, I think I’ll double my consumption. Mark Sebby part 2!

is it cold brew concentrate? That might be why you need to cut it with water to make it not suck
