Hoping you won't order a Diet Coke.withGod/Shutterstock
There are plenty of things passengers can do to drive flight attendants crazy, although ordering a certain diet soda might be an inconvenience you've never thought about.
Diet Coke's carbonation makes it hard to pour without overflowing the cup with bubbles. As a result, it takes flight attendants significantly longer to pour Diet Coke than other beverages, including other sodas.
"Of all the drinks we serve, Diet Coke takes the most time to pour the fizz takes forever to settle at 35,000 feet. In the time it takes me to pour a single cup of Diet Coke, I can serve three passengers a different beverage," Heather Poole, a flight attendant, wrote on her blog.
The reason why Diet Coke takes so long to pour can partly be attributed to its ingredients, which make it more carbonated than non-diet sodas, according to the HuffPost.
There is, however, a way around the inconvenience of pouring Diet Coke, according to another flight attendant blog, These Gold Wings.
While your flight attendant might not be thrilled about taking extra time to pour your Diet Coke, that won't stop them from serving the particularly fizzy beverage.
"For the record, I drink Diet Coke both as a flight attendant and as a passenger," Poole wrote.
