A Matter of Taste: Noise, Tomato Juice, and the Science of In-Flight Meals - Why Passengers Hate Airline Food and What Can Be Done About It
Think of your last airline meal. Would you be able to describe it, or was it so bland and unmemorable that you’d be hard pressed to identify it as being chicken or beef? In-flight meals have long been fodder for standup comics. While asking “what’s the deal with airline food” may seem like a setup for a Jerry Seinfeld monologue, the question has warranted serious study by both scientists eager for an empirical answer and airlines eager to entice their best customers into expensive first- and… (www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com) さらに...
