United Airlines has partnered with New York City’s Magnolia Bakery to bring the “world famous” banana pudding to the skies.
Magnolia’s “Banana Pudding Wafer Cookie Bits” is now available on select United First flights traveling more than 901 miles, according to a joint press release.
“As an avid traveler and baker, I know what an important role food can play in your travels, which is why I’m so excited to bring this new, innovative product to thousands of adventurers each year,” Bobbie Lloyd, Magnolia Bakery CEO and chief baking officer, said in the release.
