Diet Coke is the most annoying thing you can order on a plane.
Huh? It's true. "Whatever you decide to drink," says Travel + Leisure, "don't order a Diet Coke." They say that "if you order a Diet Coke on a plane, you're slowing everything down." (Also, there's a side effect to drinking diet soda.)
This, according to a flight attendant.
A flight attendant reportedly said that Diet Coke takes the longest of any other drinks to pour onboard an airplane.
There's a scientific reason.
That's because on a plane, it's said the high altitude heightens the foaming action of carbonated drinks. According to what the flight attendant shared, Travel + Leisure states that when it comes to drinks that hold up the process, Diet Coke is the worst because you have to wait for the fizz to, well, fizzle before you can continue pouring… until finally, the cup is filled.
