Man slammed as 'rude' for eating orange on plane - but some say it's fine

A man who ate an orange on a plane has sparked a debate about the food etiquette rules you should follow when 40,000 feet up. In a Reddit post, the passenger simply asked: "Out of curiosity, is it rude to peel oranges on a flight?" However, he was not at all expecting such a varied response - with some users claiming it's 'rude' while others believe it's 'perfectly acceptable'.

"Travellers are encouraged to organize their carry-on bags and keep them uncluttered to ease the screening process and keep the lines moving." For carry-on luggage, passengers are entitled to bring on cheese, cooked meat, seafood and vegetables, creamy dips and spreads, providing they're less than or equal to 3.4 oz , fresh eggs, pet food, pizza, and tamales, among other foods.

But while passengers can bring oranges onto a plane, many claim they shouldn't as it could cause a mess and unwanted smells onboard. One Reddit user commented: "Peel it ahead of time. Accidentally squirting juice on someone is incredibly rude." "Her family member is allergic to oranges and she’s mad when daycare feeds them to her kid or when students eat them in her room. Apparently, the smell lingers and sets off a reaction if the person is around even hours later. But it’s also not possible to prepare for every possible allergic reaction a stranger may have."
