Thanks

This AeroMexico 737 has winglets on the wing tips.

A wiglet reduces the loss of lift at the wingtip producing a more efficient wing. Better wing equals better fuel economy.

A little, pink wing.

Like a piglet is a little, pink pig.

Those are winglets on the side of the piglet's head, by the way.
