“You can’t eat a whole rib on a plane,” one passenger complained mid-flight

We often serve millions of passengers who go on vacation by air around the world sad and unappetizing foods. Others, now that it’s allowed, yesand bring their own supplies. And some of these cases transcend and spread on social networks where they end up being viral phenomena.

Tell him if not the traveler Lanna Tolland, of Glasgow, Scotland, who found himself in the middle of a global food battle after downloading the experience he lived on board a flight on his Twitter account.

The woman was trapped in a plane full of people along with a passenger who had no better idea – or a delusional idea – than to eat a whole rack of barbecued pork, with fries and cornbread and eggs, which he carefully carried to his place inside a huge pizza box.

“There’s no way this guy eat a whole rib on this plane,” a furious Tolland said, providing damning photographic evidence. She posted this on her Twitter account and the little bird’s social network exploded to the point that the image has been around for more than 5,500,000 visits.​

In the networks, users came to the conclusion that the brutal portion of meat was bought by the passenger at an airport restaurant called Frankie & Benny’s, the Washington Post reported. The chain has a presence throughout the UK and offers a menu of American and Italian classics, including so-called “Smoky Ultimate BBQ Ribs”which is the dish in question.

“I don’t even like using my laptop on the plane in the middle seat,” said user Daniel Berman. “Based on the non-existent space between her belly and the trayI’d say this isn’t the first full rack of racks eaten on an airplane,” said Janet Davis. “People at the airport, we ordered black coffees and croissants. Nothing more,” Emily Lamb tweeted.

Many users, on the other hand, went to the crossroads for having unmasked a passenger who simply wanted to eat. There were very funny comments: “I love it for him”, “I approve” or “you’re mad because he didn’t share with youthey wrote.

“My Absolute Hero: If You Don’t Respect His Powerful Attitude says more about you than about himsaid Mike Walsh, in a critique of Tolland’s post.
