I always get them on planes. My boyfriend (a bartender) made fun of me for years because I swore they tasted better up there.

Fast forward and he goes to a fancy cocktail convention where people are demonstrating all these weird new techniques. Goes up to one booth  where they have him try a Bloody Mary and rate it. Then they have him put on some fancy headphones and try it again. He says it actually tastes much better. They say that the humming sound from the headphones is meant to mimic the sound of jet turbines that intensifies the savory flavor.

I’ve never felt so vindicated

Food acts and tastes differently 10,000 feet in the air. It's why a diet coke takes longer to stop fizzing when it's that high. The chemical composition is reacting in a different space.
