Favorite snack foods during cruise?

[Hugh Jorgan]

hot beef jerky

My dad makes his own beef jerky. It's hot and the best stuff you've ever had. He sends it to me by the poundful. When I was flying P-3's, it was part of the climb checklist for me to break out a bag. By the time we leveled off, everyone was reaching for a drink! We used to do some pretty creative cooking, but nothing beats that fried rice with the fish sauce and being squeeeky-clean behind the ears after a few foamies on your way out of Thailand!

Those heavenly Biscoff ginger-snap things that Continental Express supplies.

A can of walnuts works great and fits right next to the smoke goggles. A large liter of water and two diet cokes that will get you from BWI to KEF and back in one night.

True Story....

One of our pilots put his lunch, in a brown bag, on top of the enormous storage space between the seats in the 1900D.

During takeoff roll, the lunch bag slides rapidly down the passenger aisle and launches off of the ramp over the spar around row 5. Food every where.

The crew looks back after climbing out and the pax are actually eating HIS LUNCH!!!!!

Now days when all you get on a 3.0 trip is a small bag of peanuts and a diet coke what do you expect???They probubly just spent all day on AA, they were thrilled.

What do you expect he spilled food all over them.

CINNABON

For me, it's gotta be a Cinabon, extra frosting and all, and a hot chocolate (or pepsi in the summer) to wash it all down. It's a lot for my meager FO pay but the sugar rush is worth it
Anyone know what happend to Chocolatebons? I sure miss 'em, Those things were heaven on Earth!

Re: dew it

it begins and ends with Mountain Dew-the breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions.

If you like the dew, try SUN Drop if you get down south. It's sweeter and has more caffine.

Liquid crack.

 

[utahpilot]

never heard of Sun Drop, I'll have to try it. out of curiosity, I checked for the caffeine content of these and others:

mg of caffeine per 12 oz. serving

Coke 34
Diet Coke 45
Mountain Dew 55
Pepsi 38
Pepsi One 55
Dr. Pepper 41
Barq's Root Beer 22
Sun Drop 63
diet Sun Drop 69
Surge 51

...and the winner for most grams o' caffeine per serving?

RC Edge-70.2

never even heard of it

 

[FlyinBrian]

anyone remember JOLT?

I haven't seen it in awhile, but I was wondering what the caffeine content is. I remember their slogan was
"All the sugar and twice the caffeine." They also had a diet JOLT.

 

[4fanman]

I forgot about Jolt. I used to get the shakes when I drank it!!hang on!!

JOLT COLA
THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL COLA

JOLT is popular with entertainers, musicians, computer programmers and just about anybody who burns midnight oil. Often these are America's hardest working people. Occasional exhaustion is part of a demanding lifestyle. And JOLT is a perfect solution ...delivering great taste and thirst quenching stimulation. Jolt, the espresso of colas.

Jolt contains 71.5 mg of caffeine per 12oz bottle or can. Twice that of Coke, 54% more than Mountain Dew. In case you were wondering, I do have too much time on my hands.

And Yes, I do have too much time on my hands at the moment.

Oranges man!

I always bring a nice big navel orange with me. Helps with the nasty smell we sometimes get (either from the a/c or the captain!)

And the Dew, gotta have it. I once flew with a Capt, who was also a Dew freak. He told me how he had drank half of a 20 oz. bottle, then froze it partially. It created a nice Dew slush, or ice. He then poured a new Dew on top of that, so he had some nice Dew ice cubes. No water dillution from normal cubes, pure Dew. People who aren't Dew freaks will not understand how great this was!

DUDE, GOTA HAVE THE DEW!

 

[skyslug]

a Fuji, water and of course, powerbars. They can be squished, mangled, bent, melted, frozen, old and still taste good. They have a shelf life of no less than 15 years.
