Don't Eat a Laxative Before Getting on a Plane
11 Dec 2010I flew out west for work. Before getting on a 6 hour flight back, I figured "hey, now that airlines suck and don't give you even a snack, why don't I grab a snack for the flight." I walked into one of the newstandy places in the airport, looking for some chips or candy.
I'm a sucker for Jelly Bellies, so when I saw a bag, I figured "hurrah, my snack."
I wasn't super pleased that they were sugar-free, but how bad could it be?
Pretty bad, it turns out. Mostly because I didn't notice the little warning in the lower left hand side of the bag:
You can imagine the rest. Thankfully, the plane was pretty empty and I was sitting maybe 3 rows from the back, so I did not make a spectacle of myself on the 3 or 4 trips to the lavatory.
