A flight attendant has shared why exactly they can't bear it when a passenger innocently asks for a Diet Coke, with this being a particularly frustrating beverage to serve. Although you might think nothing of ordering a refreshing Diet Coke during a long flight, the person serving it to you could well be silently cursing you as they pour.
This particular peeve was highlighted in an eye-opening blog post written by an anonymous flight attendant known only as 'Jet' who explained the scientific reason why Diet Coke can be a bit of a nuisance to pour at high altitudes.
Once up in the air, fizzy drinks served on planes will end up bubbling up far more than they usually would, all because of how CO2 is released with greater ease when there is lower air pressure. Diet Coke ends up becoming the foamiest of them all.
