Around 30 years ago, American Airlines realized that by removing a single olive from every passenger's salad, they would save what amounts today to about $100,000 annually due to reduced weight. They did that.

Do you think they're going to remove seats and install a brig, or are they just going to make sure every flight has a half a roll of duct tape?

    Nah the savings came from reduced olives. Olives are expensive, it costs more to buy an olive than to fly it on a plane.

    They will soon realise a quarter roll of duct tape is good enough and save millions again.

    If you roll an average of 2.37 Cavendish bananas length of duct tape between your index and middle finger, you can make a sticky booger ball that tastes like an olive (or maybe boogers, depending on your pH and relative gastrointestinal 'transit time'). As a limited time offer it also removes warts!

    Pro tip: When the airline supplies that, you can add your own boogers for a more authentic taste and you can bring as many as you can, they don't count towards your cabin luggage weight limit. The one trick airlines DON'T want you to know.
