Flight attendants make airplane food fun

Shockingly enough, this was on a Southwest flight where the attendants made more ‘gourmet’ style food out of airplane snacks. I’m not a big fan of Southwest given several past experiences and I think this has way more to do with some quirky flight attendants wanting to experiment than it does with the company itself….but hey, at least they allowed something like this, so they get a few indirect points from me anyway. I’ll try to ignore that it took place while people were flying to SXSW, which is known for having a lot of bloggers who might be tempted to blog something like this… ;)

Some of the recipes that chosen passengers were taught to make were “Key Lime Cookie Dough Sort Of” (above) made of cookies, creamer, and lime and this chocolate “mousse” (below) using hot chocolate mix and creamer, which does look like a nice dip for pretzels.

Unfortunately, you don’t usually get more than one snack offered during a flight, so making these snacks on a regular flight is unlikely. If you ever get access to multiple snacks, though, then make yourself a fun treat! I’m sure you could create more if you buy those ‘snack pack’ boxes they offer, but then you might as well bring your own snacks instead of paying for them anyway.

Also, I actually didn’t know you could get hot chocolate on a plane. I’ve only ever been offered sodas, alcohol, and coffee really. Hot chocolate would be quite delicious while flying, I think. Do any other airlines offer it? That might be enough to get me to try Southwest again, hehe.

The spoon is evil – Real actors read Yelp

Just watch. I find it hilarious that people actually write reviews like this, but even more so when they’re done as dramatic readings. Perfect. You can find more of them on the YouTube channel.

Oh, and as a side note, they actually did change their spoons after this review, so it’s good for something, too!

Real Actors Read Yelp #14 Transcript:

I don’t live in Troy. So I don’t need this place to succeed.

That being said, I think it’s nice that they provide a place in the area for people to hang out at night that isn’t a bar. Bravo.

But they have a big problem. A freakin’ huge problem. It’s their spoons. Hear me out. Never in my life have I encountered such an uncomfortable utensil. And it’s not that it’s hard to hold or that the seams poke into your fingers while you’re using it. The problem is… the shape of the bowl. Using it to put yogurt in my mouth actually hurts my lips. And I don’t know if the bowl is too deep or the rim is oddly curved…but every single bite…it…It pushes on my lips as I try in vain to enjoy the perfectly tart frozen yogurt with mango…blackberry…mandarin orange slices…

I’m not going back.

Do you know how many frozen yogurt places there are in this area? A sh*t ton. There is ZERO room for error.
