She probably just got this stewardess fired.

Could have been cool and stfu about it but instead put Melissa at risk of being fired... Shit like this is why I don't do favors for people at work.

fun fact: you can make these at home without burning down rainforests and giving yourself cancer from the palm oil!

Great job doxxing your benefactor to her employer on the internet

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.

I hope her manager doesn't care :) probably not, it's not like those cost the company a lot.

I hope American Airlines doesn’t fire Melissa because of this post.

Cool, but feels like gonzo marketing

I'm the kind of guy that will often happily accept stuff other folks are trying to get rid of, and one of my neighbors occasionally drops off random food, often sourced from airlines. I got a box full of Delta frozen manicotti meals, assorted coca-cola from random countries like Thailand, various chips, crackers and cookies -- stuff like that.

Anyway, my recommendation for a really top-tier airline cookie is "Michel et Augustin cookie squares," specifically the dark chocolate and sea salt ones in the pink package. Those things are awesome, and I have no idea where to get them locally/for a reasonable price.

I thought these were cigarettes at first glance.

I love Biscoffs too. Milky tea and Biscoff in the sun = bliss.

Biscoff bandoleer.

Also easily bought at Costco

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.

You can actually buy those cookies in normal supermarkets.

and what is the point of this? Rachel wanted to be famous https://www.instagram.com/rachel_leishman/

Biscoff is elite

Omg Biscoff cookies and Biscoff butter is the best thing ever
