How dare he, in Alabama those are considered children.

[screamingintune]

he just cracks them IN HIS SEAT and pours them directly into his mouth???

see behavior like that on an airplane makes Taylor's climate terrorism seem understandable, people will really do all kinds of disgusting shit on public transportation D:

he says he separates the white from the yolk and i don't see flight crew being okay with all that mess so he probably does in the loo. barf.

Why would that be messy? As long as he's putting the shells in the trash there shouldn't be a problem with waste.

While I love it when my eggs are on the softer side I could never just chug them raw. But I'm also not travelling to places where I could get jetlag.

raw eggs and no salmonella but I can't eat raw cookie dough??

[cleanofslate]

pretty sure raw cookie dough also has to do with raw flour being bad for you. there are ways to get around it though. you can pasteurize eggs in a sous vide bath without cooking the whites and yolks, and you can cook the flour in a frying pan, i'm pretty sure.

Randomly, I have the answer to this - raw eggs aren't a major salmonella risk in a lot of places outside the USA, including Europe and Japan, because they aren't deep cleaned or whatever before being sold. The cleaning they get in the US strips off a protective layer that keeps bacteria out, which makes salmonella a much higher risk.

Whereas in Japan they use raw egg as a dipping sauce (and it's surprisingly good, damn them). In Europe I don't remember ever being told not to eat raw cookie dough, although apparently it's discouraged because of the flour, not the eggs.

He’s flying commercial? Aren’t eggs considered raw food? I’d expect it getting thrown out just like cheese or raw meat on international flights?

Also this sounds like nonsense like how did he even discover this? Did he randomly eat raw eggs on a flight once and realized it didn’t give him jet lag? So many questions

Is that an American thing? I've never heard of cheese being forbidden on flights.

[manu19]

Cheese and meat on a sandwich is okay but open cheese or meat without a clear label = lands in the trash at the security check (I am in Germany). One time I had an elderly woman with a carry on full of cheese in front of me (I assume it was home made) and she had to toss it all out. Imagine you take a worm infected piece of cheese to another country and it ends up spreading (not native to country x)

[goshipgurl]

I think that has something to do with EU laws, you're not allowed to bring unlabeled meat into the country
