I&#8217;ve been on flights before where this is all followed an hour or two later by a wrap, a bag of crisps, <strong>and\u00a0<\/strong>a G\u00fc yoghurt. Why? Why does that happen? Just gimme a sandwich; I&#8217;ll live.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always nice when the airline tries to make an effort and offer something exotic &#8211; like a curry. But it still ends up being all bland and horrible. But wait, is there a good reason for this?<\/p>\n<h5>SCIENCE<\/h5>\n<p>So apparently your taste buds are less, erm, good at tasting things at higher altitudes? And this means that airlines have to adapt their meals. Which is why they taste weird.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all! It&#8217;s not just the altitude. The dryness of the cabin has an effect too, which makes you feel all thirsty. Your nose also gets all dried out, which has a negative effect on your\u00a0olfactory senses.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/weird-news\/plane-food-tastes-truly-awful-6814781\">read<\/a> that the noise on planes can have an impact too.
