United Website Pictures That Tell The Whole Story

“Ha Ha ha,…..No, no, really, I’m not eating this swill!” Pandemic meals without a face mask in sight! How far we have come!!

I have yet to see this meal choice show up on the pre-order menu.

From the United website, Mileage Plus section.

Feel free to add your own official United photo and or caption.

I think you're right; this isn't a picture of the FA giving the passenger the meal; it's a picture of the passenger rejecting the slop, and handing it back to the FA.
Well spotted!

She probably has a high end status with United and keeps giving them money even though she hates the food. Just look at the deranged smile on her face.

The weird smile came later; this is just before she decided to hand the meal back:

I just flew Polaris IAH->LHR and the food was pretty much inedible. I guess just eating in the Polaris lounge is the way to go.

"Can you believe people pay $6000 or more for a Polaris ticket and this is what United gives them?"

"No way! Why would anyone fly this airline?"

Oh haha, my assistant got me good, must have ordered the hospital special meal when booking, extra bland. Jokes on them, performance reviews when I return 😄. So where's the real food?

His body is awkwardly in a defensive position behind the seat sidewall. Has he experienced full-on physical assaults from passengers in the past when presenting the meal?

"No thank you. I'm holding out for the Wellington Burger right before we land. I'll take the cold pretzel roll and frozen butter, though!"

Or, more generally (only somewhat related to the foregoing),

Charlie Trotter was a fool. I told them we could provide meals for under a dollar. Love being right!
