Fail ‘o’ the Day: Pringles Do Not Equal a Finished Flight

Johnny Depp on Virgin

I’ve flown Virgin and liked it very much compared with other airlines. Good in-flight entertainment, like the Johnny Depp Actors’ Studio on demand, shown above, that my seatmates and I liked. These days, it takes very little to keep me content.

But I’ve never been in a situation where potato chips and water were being rationed, as in this story today from New York Magazine and the New York Post:

During that fourteen-hour ordeal, the food slowly began to run out on the plane. (Presumably, the alcohol was all chugged by hour six.) By the end of it, flight attendants were doling out the last remaining snacks (Pringles, of course), giving each person a measly four potato chips. To add insult to injury, there was only a half-cup of water per person to wash down those salty, delicious pieces of fat and chemicals.

Johnny Depp himself would have to be working the aisle to make up for that mess. But not as Pirate Jack–that would get seriously old after 16 hours.
