You had zero chance of it being spreadable before the plane landed. Bread? Might have broken the window if you threw the bread at it.

I keep getting hounded with pre-order emails for my upcoming three leg journey. It's super annoying. I don't care and I'll pre-order if I want to. Stop emailing me 10x a day about it.

I guess it depends on when you want to get your punishment. I don't like to pre-order and prefer to pick whatever calls to me onboard, knowing that it might not be available and I have to pick something else. However, that tends to get me chastised for not pre-ordering. I get that the FA are trying to be kind and want me and others to get our preference (I'm 1K but I usually offer second and third choices to help with the sorting). I'm pretty good about letting things roll off, but it is a bit off-putting to be questioned/called out for not pre-ordering.

Maybe it would help if we could pre-order our PDB and PJs...
