Before I post the article, I want to ask, WTF happened to flight attendants? It used to be glamorous, and they had to make a weight every month or be suspended. They used to be cute and nice. Just like the rest of the air travel experience, it’s all gone downhill.

There is also the joke about how many straight men flight attendants does it take to screw in a light bulb. The answer is both of them.

I’ve had friends and relatives have this job since the 1950’s. It has turned into a flying cocktail waitress, Coke serving group with an attitude. The other thing that I noticed is that to a person, every one of them, men and women, were cheaters, including my then girlfriend. I found out about it after I dumped her for being a cnut. Even my Aunt met my Uncle when he was married to someone else. Other than my friend Rick, I found them all to be not smart enough to get a job other than being an air hostess. Even then, the best he could do was be on the phone, in tech support.

Flying used to be a good experience. Maybe if you are a first-class flyer with lots of miles, it’s better, but who wants to fly that much? It’s a cattle call now on dirty airplanes that are poorly maintained, flown by pilots who were forced to take the Covid Jab. That makes them more susceptible than most to heart issues because of the altitude.

Now this:

Some days just call for mashed potatoes. But what if you’re 30,000 feet in the air?

No problem. A United Airlines flight attendant has got your mashed potato-needing back. All you need is a few items carried on many commercial flights. Then presto! mashed potatoes.

Well, sort of.

United Airlines attendant Rachel (@rachelleahtia) shared her secret for getting that potato fix mid-air. The recipe is inspiring shock and horror.

Rachel’s recipe, posted on TikTok, is simple: Crush Pringles potato chips in a can (though probably any potato chip would do), and add water, coffee creamer, and salt and pepper—all items readily available on many flights.

She describes the mashed concoction as “a lil ghetto but it tastes good.” She noted that she wasn’t on duty at the time.

For most observers, it’s giving prison.

“So now we’re making prison food on airplanes?” wrote one.

“Baby… I know you don’t have a new contract yet, but you not in jail,” a second said.
