Flight Attendant Explains Why Serving Diet Coke on Planes is a Problem

A flight attendant wrote about why they dislike serving Diet Coke. It might seem like no big deal to order a Diet Coke on a flight, but the attendant explained why it's a problem.
The attendant, who calls themselves 'Jet', wrote that Diet Coke is a problem because it foams a lot at high altitudes. This is because the air pressure is lower, so the CO2 in the drink comes out more easily.
Diet Coke is the worst drink for foaming.
The attendant said that Diet Coke foams so much that they have to wait for the bubbles to go away before they can finish pouring it.
If multiple passengers order Diet Coke, the attendant will often serve other drinks first and then come back to the Diet Cokes.
The attendant showed a video of how to pour Diet Coke in a smart way.
The video has been watched over half a million times.
The attendant found a way to pour Diet Coke without spilling it on a plane.
The trick is to flip the can upside down and then lift it up and tilt it slightly.
The air pressure keeps the Coke in the can, making it easier to pour without spilling.
This trick might seem small, but it saves time, which is important in a busy job like being a flight attendant.
The attendant said that pouring Diet Coke is one of the things that slows them down the most.
Fizzy drinks like Diet Coke aren't good for passengers either because they can make you feel bloated.
At high altitudes, the air pressure is lower, so fizzy drinks can make you feel uncomfortable and bloated.
Water is a better choice for staying hydrated on a plane, and it can also help prevent headaches.
