Used to buy these at the store, because I loved them so much on the flights. Then I checked the calorie count, and damn yeah these are just a special occasion snack.
and what is the point of this? Rachel wanted to be famous https://www.instagram.com/rachel_leishman/
by the way i have biscoff smooth spread - nobody eats it
Also easily bought at Costco
This poor guy doesn’t understand the immense joy that is receiving a random (wanted) gift from someone.
What tastes better, the piece of candy from the bag you bought, or one randomly handed to you by a co-worker? 😜
All depends. Coworker hands me a Peep, I’ll be nice and say thank you. But I’m not eating that nasty hell spawn shit.
I get your point though. Ain’t nothing taste better than free.

It’s like you didn’t even read my comment! /s
Also, for the sake of clarifying my original point: it isn’t necessarily that the cookies were free, or that there were so many of them. OOP probably would’ve been just about as happy if the flight attendant overheard her and made a point to give her just a single pack- it’s the being acknowledged and having someone make a deliberate effort for you that gives the warm and fuzzies here.
I love Biscoffs too. Milky tea and Biscoff in the sun = bliss.
Haha I’m a sucker for those cookies too. I normally throw them in my backpack if I don’t eat them on plane
I hope American Airlines doesn’t fire Melissa because of this post.
You can actually buy those cookies in normal supermarkets.
I am always so mies and mean spirited, but honestly after reading this (in the hopes it’s real) I actually smiled at how sweet this act of kindness was.
So good. I like their cookie butter as well.
I hope her manager doesn’t care :) probably not, it’s not like those cost the company a lot.
It almost reads like an elaborate attempt at revenge.
I had the same thought, hope she doesn’t get in trouble. Seems like she created a loyal customer for a low cost.
Yeah it would take an executive office all of two seconds to cross reference twitter name (assuming real person) and Melissa employee on any recent flights. Dick move assuming twitter name is real name.
airline, first name, recent flights were service couldn’t be done due to turbulences. I doubt that leaves more than one flight as a result.
Yeah. It is rules 1, 2, and 3 that when a low-level employee does this kind of thing for you, you don’t publicly thank them or identify them by name and possibly get them in trouble. Your greatest and most sincere thanks is represented by you agreeing to keep quiet.
Melissa will probably be fine, but maybe not. Just take the cookies.
Yeah, thank her but not by name and airline. If she just said what she said without that and Melissa saw it, I’m sure she would know it’s for her.
Just thank her to her face, no need to involve the Internet in this.
Can’t believe how deep the comments go to reach the sane answer.
If the company has allotted a certain amount based on cost per flight, and the amount given to this person equals less than that, given the fact that the flight did not use those cookies, the company is still spending less than expected. Melissa did nothing wrong.
fun fact: you can make these at home without burning down rainforests and giving yourself cancer from the palm oil!
Got a recipe?
tbh i find they’re really similar to ANZAC biscuits (but ANZAC biscuits are even better because they’re chewy!)
Orangutan 😢
How many cups?
Huh?
HOW MANY CUPS OF ORANGUTAN TEARS
Thought it was pretty clear
Great job doxxing your benefactor to her employer on the internet
I don’t think that’s a negative though, mein guter.
It’s good pr because the reader connects brand with nice woman who is considerate and nice👍❤️🥰😍💕♥️
Could be, but this will come to light in future and almost always blame the employee.
Brandname “Biscoff” is a disgrace in its home country. The type of cookie is called speculoos, pairs well with coffee (and black tea!). Lotus, the manufacurer, decided to market the cookie outside of its home country by changing the name to Biscoff, a portmanteau of biscuit and coffee. Eventually they changed the name here too, which led to some backlash, but they stuck with the name.
If you really like Biscoff, they also produce a paste similar to peanut butter, but speculoos taste.
Now that you know the actual original name of the cookie, you can look for other brands, too.
Also, check out speculaas, which was the inspiration for speculoos. Speculaas requires a specific blend of spices, which speculoos lacks. “Loos” in Dutch is a suffix meaning without, like “less” in English (e.g. penniless), so it was a clever way to differentiate between speculaas and speculoos.
Speculous taste better than biscoff too
That’s just speculation
I would like to subscribe to more biscuit facts please.
Ah, Spekulatius.
Omg Biscoff cookies and Biscoff butter is the best thing ever
She probably just got this stewardess fired.
Nah. They didn’t do service during the flight, they had extras. Sure they can just roll that on to the next flight, but they plan a certain cost. Stuff like this makes a customer into a repeat customer without affecting the bottom line.
Yeah as long as someone actually smart thinks about it and not someone going “fuck she gave away like $150 worth of cookies to a random person, throw her out immediately”.
