United Airlines bringing back stroopwafels

If your New Year’s resolution is to eat more stroopwafels, those wafer sandwich cookies with a gooey center, United Airlines has you covered.

In a tweet last week, the Chicago-based airline announced plans to add the cookie back to its snack menu this month. Its tweet received almost 2,200 likes and was retweeted about 200 times.

It was just six months ago that the airline removed the Dutch sweet from its cabin service, to the aghast of social media users who were not at all happy with news of a replacement, a maple-flavored wafer. In the Netherlands, stroopwafels are traditionally served atop a steaming cup of coffee or tea, which softens the caramel-y goodness sandwiched in between the two wafers.

United’s decision to return stroopwafels to the snack rotation has been met with cheers from many travelers on Twitter, along with suggestions to also add Garrett’s popcorn to the mix.
