 There's a scientific reason a Diet Coke tastes black, but a ginger ale tastes chef's kiss on an airplane. The dryness and low pressure inside the cabin actually reduces the sensitivity of your taste buds by 70%. That makes salty snacks 20-30% less intense in the air and sweet snacks are reduced by 15-20%. But sour and spicy flavors remain basically the same. So these will taste extra good while something like this won't have much kick.
