It's garbage like this that drives Ryanair's revenue.
If you doubt Ryanair's strategy, read this article:

"Ryanair said steady ticket prices, an 18 percent rise in passengers traveling on its growing network from a year ago and a 53 percent jump in ancillary revenues from services other than ticket sales were the main reasons for the profit rise.
In-flight sales of food and drinks, baggage charges and services such as car rental and travel insurance all helped boost ancillary revenues, which now account for 17 percent of the airline's total sales, to 117.1 million euros."
