DON'T ORDER DIET COKE ON AN AIRPLANE

According to a flight attendant on flight blog These Gold Wings, Diet Coke takes the longest to pour. The flight attendant says the high altitude makes carbonated drinks foam up more, and Diet Coke is the worst. In fact, Diet Coke is so slow, they can usually fulfill three other drink orders in the time that’s wasted waiting for the bubbles to go down on one Diet Coke. This all might seem minor, but the flight attendant explains that on full-service flights, it can make a huge difference, writing: “Pouring Diet Coke is one of the biggest slow-downs in the bar service and on the shorter flights those precious seconds count!”

* Gee, what else can I, the passenger, do to make the job I’m paying you to do easier?
* So, what I’m hearing is – if you order Diet Coke on a plane, they’ll notify the baggage handlers to lose your luggage.
* I don’t care what you say. I am NOT switching to Dr. Pepper.
* Here’s a suggestion – how about pumping the proper amount of air into the cabin where I’m trying to breathe?
* What you don’t know is, for every person who orders a Diet Coke, that’s an extra minute you’re going to sit on the tarmac waiting for a gate to become “available”.
