Recent discussions surrounding the quality of airline food, often a subject of humor and criticism, have taken a new turn with the emergence of a highly unusual inflight culinary experiment. A TikTok user, known as @barfly7777, has gained significant attention for his unconventional cooking methods, including a recent incident where he prepared a meal in an airplane bathroom, raising both safety and hygiene concerns.
@barfly7777 With 2 6v batteries wired in series to an immersion beverage heater, one is able to get water scalding hot quickly. Raw shrimp will only need a few minutes. Adding instant mash to the shrimp water adds some extra flavor.

The TikTok user, known for his unusual cooking methods, including making noodles in a coffee pot, recently took his culinary experiments to an extraordinary level by preparing a meal on a Delta flight. This incident adds to a series of strange occurrences on Delta flights. In a video that has since gone viral, the user demonstrated how he cooked a meal in the airplane’s lavatory using raw shrimp and instant mashed potatoes, items he carried in his luggage. The cooking process involved a makeshift heating mechanism, powered by a large 6-volt battery.
Further exacerbating the situation, the TikToker used the airplane’s baby-changing station as a makeshift kitchen counter and his bare hands for cooking. Lacking a plate, he served his unconventional in-flight meal in a Delta-branded sickness bag and consumed it at his seat, much to the presumed dismay of his fellow passengers.
The video has rapidly garnered nearly a million views and sparked a wave of outrage and disbelief among TikTok users. Comments have ranged from disbelief to criticism, with one user declaring the video “one of the most insane” they’ve seen on the platform. Others questioned how the individual managed to bypass airport security with the cooking paraphernalia, especially in light of stringent regulations on items like liquids and electronic devices.
As bewildering as the incident may be, it has brought to light concerns about in-flight safety and the potential risks of such unregulated activities. The manner in which the TikToker was able to execute this cooking experiment without intervention remains unclear. The incident serves as a reminder to travelers to be vigilant about their surroundings and the activities of fellow passengers, especially in the confined space of an aircraft.
The viral nature of the video and the ensuing reactions underscore the growing influence of social media on public discourse, particularly in highlighting unusual or controversial behavior in public spaces such as airplanes. While the quality of airline food might continue to be a topic of discussion, this extreme approach to in-flight dining is unlikely to gain mainstream acceptance.
