Peanuts or pretzels? Only one can rule the snack cart in the skies

At first, I think I’m sweating. But then I realize that uncomfortable clamminess is coming from my seatmate, who is spilling over the armrest on the tiny commuter jet. With my arms pinned to my sides and at least an hour to go in the flight, the only thing I have to look forward to is the moment when I am handed a foil snack bag by the flight attendant.

Will she give me an extra bag? Will I get a whole can of soda, too? But in talking with a single serving friend, I realized that peanuts versus pretzels are constantly battling for supremacy in the snack cart. It’s time to settle this airline debate.
