Why You Always Choose THIS Soda From The Beverage Cart On Your Flight

When you’re on a plane and the flight attendants come around with the beverage cart, do you always ask for the same drink? Is it ginger ale? The soft drink is one of the most popular beverages ordered on airplanes, and there’s actually a scientific reason behind it. Researchers have found that our taste buds are altered when we fly due to lower pressure in the cabin. This change in pressure changes the oxygen saturation in our blood, and taste receptors become less efficient. This is why meals served on planes often need to contain more salt and sugar. But that can’t be done for canned beverages, so ginger ale will taste less sweet to most people and leave it with a more dry and crisp taste that people seem to enjoy more. But that’s not the only reason. Ginger ale is also believed to help with an upset stomach and nausea, which is why some passengers prefer it.
