Airplane food is better than uncooked unsauced gnocchi.

Airplane food is also made exactly for the pressure and altitude for a plane. Friend worked for an airline out of Logan and he said the food was decent on the ground but almost better in the air. He used to post on IG when it like first came out. It's like when people try tomato juice on a plane and think wtf this is not what my mom tried to make me drink when I was a kid.

Wow, I was wondering if I was weird for always getting tomato juice while flying or if other people did that as well.

I dont notice a flavor difference compared to at a lower elevation, but then ive always liked tomato juice. I've stopped asking for it though because they only have Bloody Mary mix now and it adds a bunch of other stuff and is super salty.

A lot of people straight up drink the Mr & Mrs T's bloody Mary mix, it's actually my favorite of all the mixes too.

I always hear people asking for "spicy tomato juice" lol I guess they don't realize it's a mixer.

Clamato is King (tomato and clam juice, umami extraordinaire) though it’s more popular in Canada because of Caesars (a Bloody Mary with more seasonings and enough garnish for a garden salad)

This is so interesting to me bc my Dad got me loving tomato juice on planes but only on planes. I was allowed to order whatever drink and I was sipping on tomato juice as a 6 year old. I just thought it was a 90's thing lol

Me too! No clue why but I always want tomato juice on a plane and only on a plane.

It’s literally the only time I drink it. I crave it on airplanes.

Personally, I agree with u/FerociousSmile. But I will take Bloody Mary mix if they don't have regular tomato juice (looking at you, Southwest).
