Chewing helps your ears 'POP' when you go to a different air pressure height. |

peanuts can do the same thing as bread and crackers, it helps settle your stomach. |

What, what, what??

Its a protein snack. It holds people over more than crackers...and its a cheap snack. If you have an allergy, you can ask for something else. |

Protien helps "fill" you up. And nuts are probably the most inexpensive, high protein snack they can provide that isn't messy. |

They don't anymore, to many people with food allergies. Now all we get is tiny bag of pretzels |
|

Pretzels

Who doesn't like nuts? Most airlines serve either napkins or pretzels nowadays instead of peanuts because of peanut allergies (Southwest serves peanuts, but they have pretzels as an alternative). It's cheap, it's a favorite snack (like pretzels), and, well, it's cheap! |

Airplanes used to give food, but over time they changed to snacks and then to a lousy bag of peanuts. Peanuts are the cheapest and most widely acepted. The airlines just dont want to pay more than they have to. |
