Coughs at the dust of ages past

makes his way through the thousands of accumulated cobwebs.

Opens a great crate, unopened since time immemoria

unearths the joke he seeks

speaks the words to an audience of no one

"Gee JRPG people sure dress funny, huh?"

Tanya · 2015-01-28 19:59:08

How about that airplane food huh?

glennmagusharvey · 2015-01-28 21:39:57

I've been okay with airline food, generally. But they rarely ever serve it anymore.

eriophora zia · 2015-01-29 03:52:15

Whenever they give out complimentary cookies it makes me want to ask for 10 or so of them because they're tiny and I'm often hungry.

I am restrained by social convention/politeness, though, and sometimes just ask for two. Or three. >_>

Usually not ten, at any rate.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-01-29 03:56:51

You get complimentary cookies?

We get a can of soda. Well, we in the general sense. We as in me usually get ginger ale, of all things. I don't know why.

it's been more than a decade since I was on a plane

glennmagusharvey · 2015-01-29 04:15:47

does anyone ask for cranberry juice just to get the can and cup

and then eat the ice and save both the can and the cup

Yarrun XIX · 2015-01-29 04:21:22

Eat the ice? Man, it's cold enough on airplanes already.

glennmagusharvey · 2015-01-29 06:56:13

It's also horribly dry.

eriophora zia · 2015-01-29 08:16:57

The airline I normally fly on for band stuff or sometimes to visit family in winter does soda and little cookies, generally. They're just shortbread ones, maybe a couple inches long - nothing fancy.

Once they did tiny bags of off-brand chex mix. I didn't really like those as well, but it was also a really short flight so I didn't mind.

on the trip to see vash the flight attendants poured us little chintzy cups of the beverage of our choice

sunn wolf · 2015-01-29 11:49:52

my flight back from Crete was with Aegean and their inflight meal was actually p tasty, but they're Greek, they have the unfair advantage of already having one of the best cuisines

my flight to Crete, on the other hand, was with a British carrier and you had to pay extra if you even wanted a bottle of water, never mind a free meal. which was very british

sunn wolf · 2015-01-29 11:52:21

i also distinctly remember a 90s american airlines meal where every single component of it had the distinct taste of mcdonalds burger buns

Calica · 2015-01-29 11:56:46

i think the only flight where i actually had food was the eight-hour one to the uk; it was through delta and the food wasn't good

This is what I got when I flew United to see Anonus

When I flew American on the way back though, the flight attendant gave me the whole can!

glennmagusharvey · 2015-01-29 13:03:37

I think American will give you the whole can for cranberry and maybe apple juice, but not orange juice or water or milk.

JetBlue I know gives you a whole bottle for water, probably other drinks.

Actually JetBlue does this really interesting thing where they have the flight attendants go around with baskets and trays, rather than using a push-cart.

This long discussion on airline food is why I love HH.

Corvina · 2015-01-29 16:10:31

Alaskan has good food items (like, actual good food), but they cost money. Otherwise you get those little packets of a snack mix

Odradek · 2015-02-14 01:17:09

I like how none of these posts are about the OP.
