Regarding in-flight dining, the timeless question remains fish or chicken? Most passengers favor chicken, so those served last frequently receive only the fish choice. To address this, flight attendants employ a smart strategy when chicken supplies are exhausted.

By presenting it as a distinctive selection, attendants help passengers feel content with their meal, even when it wasn't their initial preference.
