Never Order Diet Coke On A Plane
If you want to remain on friendly terms with your flight attendant, one surprising thing you should probably not do is order a Diet Coke. Because of the carbonated drink’s composition, it takes the drink’s frothy fizz much longer to settle at cruising altitude than any other beverage served on flights.
Flight attendants report that to prevent the drink from overflowing, it takes them about three times as long to pour Diet Coke as it does any other drink they’re asked for. When you’re trying to serve an entire plane full of disgruntled travelers, every second count, and Diet Cokes makes the seconds stretch to minutes.
