When CO starts their BOB program in whY, what do you think the going rate will be for a fresh baked muffin or other item from my Easy Bake Oven?

I will pay you 5 Bolivianos, or 50 Kenyan Shillings.

In before the lock....

I once saw a guy take the bag of peanuts out of the FA cabinet and start distributing them to fellow passengers....I guess he was tired of waiting for them. Got through 20% of the plane before a FA told him to sit down...I suppose he could have tried to sell em for $1 a piece^:cool:

Has anyone ever tried to USE those headphones?!? I used to keep them after each flight up front, figuring I'd have situations where it's not practical to have my good headphones around. Plus I always lose/break the two-prong adapters, so infinite spares helps keep my good headphones in use. But wow, a while ago I actually plugged in a pair and I don't think I've ever heard ear buds sound that terrible (and I've had some cheap ones). I even tried another set to be sure it wasn't a fluke.

So I would not wish them on anyone, and cringe whenever I see someone actually hand over money for them. I'll happily give them away when stuck in Y -- there's usually some in my bag somewhere.

5 pages long and still going strong. This thread has progressed from sad to infuriating to outright hilarious.

Money is money, might as well pick up some pocket money on the 4 hour flight. Nothing about being desperate, i still have my lunch money from 3rd Grade

Perhaps CO could remove a row of seats and install a silent auction table at the rear of the aircraft (stink-shield section should do). Passengers could auction off items in flight, and CO could take a cut. Also, as a punishment to passengers who bring onboard oversized carryons, their belongings could be seized and auctioned to the highest bidder.

Nail. Hammer. Head.

Now I have to explain to my office mate why I'm cracking up here... :D

Will an Easy Bake Oven trip the power ports? Maybe I can liberate a waffle maker from the hotel breakfast bar. Just gotta figure out how to get the batter through the checkpoint. :D

A 75W bulb will be close assuming the 75W power out on the circuit. A 60W bulb shouldn't be a problem at all.

And if you can get the powdered batter you can mix it with water from the fountains air-side once you pass by the TSA. :p

Fill it into 100ml containers?

Or just whip it up in flight (though the flour might raise other concerns at security...)

With my handy homemade power-converter, I should be able to run a hot-plate on the aircraft with A/C power. Tacos, anyone?

I suppose I could bring my own powdered batter, but that would violate the spirit of this thread, namely, reselling amenities that are given to me. Plan B is to find out where the hotel stores the powdered batter and help myself to a bag.
