An Instagram user shared a video of making sourdough bread on her way to Spain. She wanted to surprise her sister with a fresh loaf of bread, so the process was done thousands of feet above the ground.

Her video, viewed over 1.2 million times, did not please many social media users. A couple of them claimed to be flight attendants, who were far from impressed by the passenger’s efforts.

“I’m a flight attendant and I hate people like you," posted one user on Instagram.

“As a flight attendant I’m gonna say: Ewwwww. On the last flight, some unhygienic passenger clipped his toe nails on that table and another one puked on it. Needless to say that the armrest you’re touching, is where some dudes’ unwashed hands from the lavatory were as well. Another woman changed the baby’s diaper, since the bathroom wasn’t “sanitary" enough in her opinion. I’ve seen it all - believe me. Now there’s you, kneading and folding sourdough. Enjoy your germ-bread. That’s an airplane - not a bakery. Learn some manners, people.., Please," wrote another.

“Looks really cute but please don't do it in planes, it's a really closed place and a celiac could suffer an intoxication, the flour can easily "fly" and spread. I know there is HEPA in the plane but is not instantaneous, so please avoid to do it in closed public places if you can not want to ruin some days of someone’s holidays," posted another.

She wanted to ~~surprise her sister with a fresh loaf of bread~~ get clicks

FTFY

[-] wren@feddit.uk 48 points 2 years ago

She had to let it rest for another 20 hours after getting off the plane anyway. Even if it was really necessary, she could have made the dough at the airport (past security) and kept it fully sealed whilst on the plane.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 50 points 2 years ago

It really should have been stopped anyway. Raw flour is not an acceptable ingredient to be spreading everywhere. I feel sorry for her seat neighbors

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Flour is also explosive, especially as a suspended dust

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Hoo boy, can't wait until someone brings a bag of flour to the plane as a threat

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I mean, isn't that what we've all been saying about TSA and how it's ineffective against actual terror plots?

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh sure she can get the dough and ingredients in the plane, but I doubt the entering countrys controls will let that dough full of pathogens in.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 31 points 2 years ago

Maybe she was trying to add unique cultures to the sourdough from the tray table.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago

Doesn't the altitude really mess with the chemistry of baking?

So in addition to the ick factor, I suspect this loaf just... wasn't very good bread.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

If your airplane is the same pressure as the outside air at 30,000 ft all the passengers are dead. They keep them the same as sea level.

[-] Umbrias@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

not exactly, the pressure in a cabin varies a lot and by altitude. it's not the same as the atmosphere outside the plane, put popping ears alone prove the pressure is not static at sea level.

Representative of company responsible for cleaning plane admits plane is not clean.

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 42 points 2 years ago

They can make it as clean as they like, but the moment passengers are on board the cabin is hardly a hyginic place to be preparing food.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

And they definitely don't do any cleaning. They, at most, just pick up trash.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

You think the flight attendants are responsible for sanitizing armrests and tray tables?

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

Not clean as in not sanitary enough to make food on, as can be expected on public transport.

[-] Umbrias@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

this was hilarious lol

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

And this is why I bring sanitizing wipes when I travel, and use them judiciously.

[-] modeler@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Because of the danger that the tray has traces of sourdough?

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago

Because people are disgusting and none of the things you regularly touch in an airport or airplane gets sterilized.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is really what the 20 second hand wash is meant to address. Increase pH and organisms don’t grow well. Wash up hands every few hours and you’re set.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe you are, but I have a weakened immune system.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I do feel like you succeeded in completely avoiding the point.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 0 points 2 years ago

Did you really have to follow me from one thread to another just because we disagreed?

And no, you missed the point. People with disabilities and weakened immune systems count as much as anybody else. Fuck off and stop trying to troll me.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Follow you? I have no idea who the hell you are and neither do I care.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 0 points 2 years ago

An obvious lie, but sure. As long as you go away, it's all good.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry boo. You’re not that important. Going to go ahead and block you to avoid future misunderstandings.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

🙄 Whatever makes you feel better.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Slams! Dut duh duh. Dut duh d- wait, what the fuck?
