Could it be they are thinking that a request for tomato juice is a rarity, so they'll get the entire can/bottle to themselves?

That's one funny website! 
I acutally got "addicted" to ginger ale many years while flying. I used to fly Eastern Shuttle(later Trump Shuttle, then US Airways Shuttle) and commute BOS-LGA daily. I must have had a gallon of ginger ale onboard every week.

Am I the only one that finds it quite surprising - and a little bit scary - that there in fact are extensive theories about this?

I drink ginger ale on a regular basis on the premise that its good for you.. but don't know if that's really the overall expected results..

Speaking for myself, I actually like tomato juice a lot (also at home), however, for some reason I need to see it to get the craving...
Yesterday I went shopping in a drink market [Is there such an expression in English? Never found dedicated stores for drinks in the US or UK, not talking about liquor stores] and as I walked past tomato juice I was thinking "Yum - that would be good now!".
Same if I fly LH - I usually spot the Tomato Juice on the cart and have one. Not seeing it on BA, I'll order a coke... weird but true.
As for Bars: I hardly ever 'see' tomato juice in Bars (well for Bloody Marys maybe)... Also it's just not a bar drink, is it?

I know why I do on short flights: I'm often just a tiny bit hungry/peckish, but not hungry enough to buy food, and a can of tomato juice is perfect to quench this.
