Why Food Tastes Different On Planes

Food on airplanes has never seemed to taste particularly great — and it's likely because your taste actually changes while you're in the air. Airline caterers actively re-work their recipes to account for the change. Watch the video above to learn what happens to your taste buds on an airplane.

I have flown Emirates, SAA, air China and more . I have never seen tomato juice. must be an American thing.The choice is always orange and Apple juice.

[aybruh]

I've never been on a plane that served tomato juice.

[realnoahsimpson]

the “tongue taste map” you showed, is a myth

[fpsgamer]

I must’ve misheard, they honestly cannot think that “curry” is an ingredient

[spoopydoopey]

Food on flights are actually quite delicious for me....
Idk why people keep saying airline food is bad

Seriously, this is so wrong. And since this is wrong, the whole video is false, explaining nothing.
For those who don't know, search up tongue taste map myth.

Because of our Taste buds afraid of flying

[RK-siln]

Never saw tomato juice in a flight.
And I fly a lot.

I was on a plane less than an hour ago.

Before boarding I ate half a cheese-and-ham sandwich. It was OK, but the cheese was a bit too "cheese-y".
I ate the other half on the plane, and found that the sandwich tasted better in the air!

Airline food taste terrible not because the food is bad, but our tongue's fault, try those "bad airline food" after you landed, it taste pretty good on land.

[КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

It's like fast food and home made food, different

[hashirekitsu]

There's a reason why Gordon never eats airplane food

[MohamedRiyas]

This channel is doing wonders. I'm really enjoying all their videos

[Talin]

I have flown Virgin Atlantic, air India and British airways
Never fuckin saw tomato juice

[juanavila]

The “flavor map” of the tongue is incorrect. That theory was disproven a while ago

[uss_]

So that’s why I can’t order
Crepes on a Plane

[Hokunin]

bulls, never noticed anything like that. And i always hate tomato juice

[maxpoerner]

The tongue model you show is wrong the tongue can taste anything anywhere!!!

[kevincui]

My question is how does the lavatory still smell like an overwhelmingly disgusting shit hole if our sense of smell is suppressed?

[omowako]

Ok, honestly, I'm not a picky eater, but the thing I HATE about airplane food is the taste of plastic in the food after its heated. Like I love fruit and bread and literally anything else that is cold when I'm on the plane
