Breaking News: Honey Roasted Peanuts Are Back on Southwest

Apr 11th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

After a long absence, Southwest Airlines will have honey roasted peanuts again for the rest of 2007. Yes, sweet nut fans, you’ll be happy to know that the King Nut company has found a way to make honey roasted nuts for the same price as dry roasted nuts. Really. The most interesting thing in this story, though, is that Soutwest alternates what kind of nuts they serve each year (2007 is honey roasted, 2008 is dry roasted, and 2009 is honey roasted again). See if they’ll get me to fly in 2008 with their pathetic tasteless dry roasted nuts.
