Biscoff cookies are the perfect plane snack. They're sweet but not too sweet, they're crumbly but not too crumbly, and they're the ideal accompaniment to a bad cup of plane coffee. Luckily, they won't be missing from United Airlines flights for long.

The airline announced Friday that it would replace Biscoff cookies with the fine-I-guess quasi-cookie known as the Oreo Thin. Oreo Thins, while acceptable in a pinch, do not provide the same decadent dunking experience that Biscoffs do. How could they? They are defined not by what they have, but what they lack: the heft and thickness of a full-size Oreo.

Fortunately, I won't be forced to dunk an Oreo Thin into my coffee — not past this spring, anyway. A United spokesperson told Eater on Friday that the swap will only last until May, at which point Biscoff cookies will return.

There's nothing like a cookie dustup to inspire some competitive ribbing, though. Delta, which also offers Biscoff, used the kerfuffle to point out on Twitter that it has no plans to phase out the cookies anytime soon.

The cookies are also offered on WestJet, Alaskan Airlines, and American Airlines. You know, if that's how you're choosing how to fly.
