    OMG, I live in that Nottinghamshire town! The road is around the corner from me. A vital added element overlooked here is that after the sign went up, another plate of bananas emerged, but this time with a £5 note sellotaped underneath...

    Sometimes I think that "new studies" are just old ones dusted off and presented in a new cover. The information about different taste in aircraft due to dehydration and air pressure is not new. It has been published many years ago when scientists wanted to know why the consumption of tomato juice is much higher in flights than down on earth.

    • @dgrant7291
      @dgrant7291 12 годин тому +3

      Probably because that tomato juice is mixed with vodka on the plane. Just a hunch.

    It has been known for decades that food in planes is percieved differently, that is why tomato juice is BY FAR most popular in planes.

    • @mwater_moon2865
      @mwater_moon2865 7 хвилин тому

      I have the feeling that coke or coffee is more popular, but I could believe that tomato juice in flight is more popular than on the ground. Of course it could just be something different from home feels more special, or that people don't like the excess fizz in flight.
