The airline announced they will stop serving peanuts on flights due to allergy concerns. Southwest has used the peanuts in past marketing campaigns saying the airline's low fares was like flying for peanuts. In a statement to USA Today, Southwest said, "Peanuts forever will be part of Southwest’s history and DNA.

Southwest will continue to give out free snacks. Pretzels, anyone?
