This comment section is something else

She probably just got this stewardess fired.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

This is your average middle managers thought process.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

tbh i find they’re really similar to ANZAC biscuits (but ANZAC biscuits are even better because they’re chewy!)

HOW MANY CUPS OF ORANGUTAN TEARS

Thought it was pretty clear

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Gallons upon liters of orangutan blood

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 57 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

...and on top of that, about ~4372 other employees will have to deal with constant free biscuit requests from greedy people who have heard about this.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Ah, Spekulatius.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Speculous taste better than biscoff too

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

That's just speculation

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

I would like to subscribe to more biscuit facts please.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Send it my way, it'll be gone in no time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Haha I’m a sucker for those cookies too. I normally throw them in my backpack if I don’t eat them on plane

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

I thought these were cigarettes at first glance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Great job doxxing your benefactor to her employer on the internet

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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👍❤️🥰😍💕♥️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Could be, but this will come to light in future and almost always blame the employee.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

You can actually buy those cookies in normal supermarkets.

Cool, but feels like gonzo marketing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

TIL about gonzo marketing. Any tips for spotting it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Main tip would be just to think critically about the material, and the motivation of the person who created it. I find just from spending less time on the commercial web, and more time in spaces like here on the fediverse, or the small web, you get a sense for ads. They seem jarring compared to the way people naturally talk or post.

But also that there isn't a huge difference between an intentional stealth marketing campaign and someone just incidentally advertising a product in an oblique, if unintentional, way.

This is different from actual reviews, or word of mouth product talk, but of course companies can and do pay for those as well.

That's really useful thanks 😊
