Passenger goes viral after making fresh pasta during flight: ‘Normalize remembering you’re in public’

Buckle up, folks, because airplane meals just got upgraded—or should we say downgraded to DIY disaster—with a TikTok star whipping up fresh gnocchi mid-flight like she’s auditioning for “Top Chef: Turbulence Edition.” Katie Brooks, pasta enthusiast extraordinaire, mixed dough right in her seat, kneading and shaping amid horrified passengers, racking up 11.7 million views and a comment section roasting her for hygiene horrors. From “unhygienic nightmare” to “just pack a sandwich,” the backlash was spicier than any sauce, with one viewer unlocking a new celiac fear. Who needs in-flight entertainment when you’ve got a culinary rebel proving that boredom + flour = viral chaos?
