Plane passenger horrifies fellow travelers with controversial mid-flight meal choice

Sometimes the only thing you can look forward to on a long flight is a meal, but one man believes the feeling of hunger should be ignored even on long flights.

“I strongly believe that people who eat on flights should be incarcerated for 10 days,” said TikTok user Zavier Torrence. declared in a video.

“Because why do you eat TUNA MELT on a flight?!” he wrote in the caption of the clip, which showed him sitting on a plane, holding his nose and looking disgusted.

While many users agree that eating smelly foods is a big no-no when traveling, most have drawn the line at not eating at all.

“I have a 10 hour flight coming up…you expect people not to eat on a flight???” »wrote a dismayed passenger.

‘Hell yeah, I’m eating. But not a tuna melt,” agreed another.

“The food is good. Strongly flavored foods are a CRIME. WHAT DO YOU WANT IN A TUNA MELT? another intervened furiously.

“I fly a lot and people need to eat, but damn, please avoid hard boiled eggs, sushi and onions.” This should be a crime,” someone else wrote.

Zavier Torrence believes the feeling of hunger should be ignored, even on long-haul flights

“If the flight lasts more than six hours, you may get hungry. What’s wrong? » asked another person.

Most people agreed that there was nothing wrong with eating on a plane, but agreed that tuna was a devilish choice in a small, enclosed space.

In September, a TikTok user named Ally went viral after sharing her undesirable seatmate on a Seattle-bound flight opened a can of tuna.

“Canned tuna on the plane must be among the best in terms of crimes against humanity,” she captioned the seven-second video she posted online.

In a follow-up clip, she explained that the passenger’s condition only worsened as the flight progressed.

“It wasn’t just the tuna,” she said. “This guy was literally in the playbook for someone you don’t want to sit next to on a plane.”

Ally reported being immediately hit with “a wall of smells” when she went to sit down.

She said she gave him the benefit of the doubt until he burst the tuna “less than 10 minutes after the flight took off.”

“Because why do you eat TUNA MELT on a flight?!” he wrote in the caption of the video, which showed him sitting on a plane, holding his nose and looking disgusted.

“So he has the can of tuna and he also has a roll of Ritz crackers and he makes himself these little f***ed up tuna appetizers,” she remembers.

She said he also ordered a strong-smelling Bloody Mary and also picked a crust.

All U.S.-based airlines allow most food on board, regardless of smell, with the exception of liquid-based foods exceeding the TSA’s 3.4-ounce limit.

A survey published last year by travel site Kayak found that 92 percent of respondents agreed that you shouldn’t bring strong-smelling foods on a plane.

Canned fish was a top offender, according to 89 percent of those surveyed.
