Airline chow is infamous for being inedible, but one beverage is worse, according to an industry insider.
“Don’t drink the coffee on airplanes. It’s the same potable water that goes through the bathroom system,” an unidentified flight attendant “for a major American airline” revealed to Vice.com.
“We recently had a test for E. coli in our water and it didn’t pass, and then maintenance came on and hit a couple buttons and it passed,” the flight attendant added. “So, avoid any hot water or tea. Bottled and ice is fine, of course.”
That said, sipping bottled water could lead you to use the plane’s bathrooms, which the anonymous stew called “the most disgusting places on the planet.”
“There’s no way these people act this way in their normal lives,” the source added. “But they get on a plane and go, ‘Cool, I’ll just pee all over the floor and dump my peanuts right on the ground.’”

Because it is phony tip-mongering.
good for you! most guys actually think the waitress “wants” them. She wants your moolah.
“Potable” means “safe to drink” in government speak. In sure that somewhere in the airline regulations it’s defined that way. So if it fails a test for e. Coli, the airline is in violation of federal airline regulations.
If this not a lie, it is misinformed dreck not worthy of publication without clarification.
OMG! Do you mean just like indoor plumbing in the civilized world?!?!
Maybe they refill the water tanks in Port-au-Prince? :D
WASH= what a sh*$ hole
Covfefe is so 2017
I’ll drive.
I had the lasagna.
Best example of circular reasoning EVER
:)
How sad idiocracy is quickly becoming a documentary.
Feh. Anyone who thinks that airplane lavatories are "the most disgusting" is extremely sheltered and ignorant. Or dishonest.
haha
In my experience, most people buy their coffee at the airport before getting on the plane.
This is the bottled water concessions trying to get everyone to buy $12 bottles of water.
