Ah, the ubiquitous American airplane snacks. This exists on a few non-American airlines, but I've only experienced it on a short flight from Hamburg to Oslo. Everyone else has served me a real meal.
This snack mix seems to have three components: pretzels, peanuts and cheese cracker sticks. Given a name like "Zesty Ranch", I expected a strong flavour. Actually, the pretzels are pretty bland, lacking even nominal salt. The peanuts were the same: too boring to even bother.
They seem to have saved the "Zesty Ranch" flavour for the cheese cracker sticks (What even are these things? Is there a name for them? Do they exist outside of snack mixes?) They've managed to perfectly blend the tastes of an unhappy childhood and aerated drywall. Then you're left with an aftertaste like sucking on a peppercorn. Mmm, tasty.
Conclusion: Boring, bland, fake cheese and "ranch" flavour. If you're on an hour-long flight, just stick to ginger ale.
2 of 5 Americas.
