FBOs have Fresh Coffee.
Some have Hot Cookies, others just have regular or even stale cookies.
Most also have popcorn for the hungry & poor freight dogs. Some still have wonderful boxes of candy or chocolate.
It’s just straight forward marketing and after a visit or two they have names.
No UA’s in the good old days.
I heard it was Tulsa, but in those days I hardly ever got out of California so what do I know. These were supposed to be the kind of Hot Cookies you put something into, not the other way around…
…and others have not-so-fresh coffee, whilst others make it so thin, I have to drop a tea bag into the cup. (I’m one of those who insists that coffee is not a beverage to be drunk, but rather a dish to be eaten with a knife and fork when properly prepared).

I heard “They” (say it like you know the pronoun “They” absolutely must be capitalized — and put your foil hat back on!) will be serving nothing but ice cubes from now on.
Some still have wonderful boxes of candy or chocolate.
“They” also found those Tootsie Rolls in the litter box!

That was dinner every night when I landed at the charlie brown airport in Fulton Co ATL. That and the lemonade. And for desert I had Jolly Ranchers from the front desk. Man I miss the days of getting paid less then the fry cook at McDonald’s all while flying threw lvl 3-4 TS (no wx radar) just turn the cockpit light on bright and wear your sunglasses (so you’re not blinded by the lighting flashes) .
No firsthand experience, so to speak, but I suspect not. More like, uh, rentals from downtown…? Like I said it was all rumor as far as i was concerned.
