Warm Nuts Theory
 

As was mentioned on a thread under "Trip Reports," there is a theory that when the First Class nuts are served warm, then the service tends to be excellent; when they are cold, the service tends to lag.

Two weeks ago we flew EWR to SAN in First and the nuts were HOT and the service was the best ever. My wife raves about that flight.

Well, in First with my wife on the way home from CLE to SAN on 11/27 (CO591), I jokingly told her about this warm nuts theory. She chuckled. Well, the nuts on this flight were served ICE cold. No exageration; they may have been kept in the refrigerator/cooler. She smiled but still doubted the theory. Dispite the unscientific nature of this theory, we expected a disproving instance. Nonetheless, I should have never doubted this ominous sign from the frequent flyer gods.

The worst First service ever. No joke. Spare you all the details, besides waiting over two hours to be asked for a refill/service (timed it and then had to push the call button)...Four flight attendents stood talking in the galley for over an hour.

Any other experiences with the warm nuts theory? I am a believer thus far http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The warm nut theory is 100% perfect with me. On three "upgraded" FC flights with warm (actually hot) nuts, the service was great. On the other two FC flights with 'normal' nuts, the service was average to bad.

Please do not quote this 'out of context'.

Stands to reason - the FA's looking to cut corners don't fire up the microwave. Obviously they consider the effort of heating them not worthy of their time.

Yet another person resists the temptation to drag this thread into the gutter. How long can it last? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Makes sense to me.

I won't drag this thread through the mud. Whoever posts next, balls in your court.

This whole Nuts Theory makes me feel warm & fuzzy... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

As the originator of the Warm Nuts Theory in a recent CO trip report, I am deeply complimented by all the cheap language plays.

I couldn't find the original thread on this astute theory, so please forgive me, and give BearX220 the credit as the progenitor http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Ouch, I think that we squeezed this one too hard.
