Not to Breakfast, anyways!I don't think I would want to be caught dead wearing those...http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/07/05-a-look-at-amtraks-new-cold-meal-serviceFresh and contemporary flip-flops? Do you have a photo you could share with the rest of us?The disposable flip flops were part of the new meal roll out so yes it is fresh and contemporary.Perhaps a recent, fresh-and-contemporary innovation?I've never seen them on any trip.Yes, they were white hard foam cutouts, on a sheet, so you "punched them out" to get the strap and you had a pair. There was a stack of them in the room. Considering that so many people end up throwing the towels on the floor to try and keep it a little dryer and cleaner to step on, I was pleasantly surprised. I'll have to wait to hear reports from others to see if this is the new normal, or if I saw the Loch Ness Monster.
Frankly, to me they sound as useless and wasteful as the "amenity kit"--given that we can't count on any such thing being consistently available on Amtrak, so need to bring our own supplies anyway.
