Some flyers take unusual items on a plane. A TikTok post of a Spirit Airlines passenger's backpack went viral because of his wife's provocative caption.
"Not my husband bringing his parachute on Spirit Airlines just in case (laughing emoji)," read the post of Kagan Brooks, the wife of the guy wearing a parachute pack while boarding a Miami-bound flight, according to the New York Post.
The video aiming for humor amassed over 1.6 million views on TikTok, NYP reported. Netizens thought the parachute was for escaping in case anything happened to the plane.
Comments about Brandon Brooks' carry-on included "smartest idea" and "smart man." His wife couldn't help but laugh and posted a clarification that he was going skydiving, adding that "you can't jump out of a commercial plane" and parachute.
Meanwhile, another TikToker flyer's stuff was both amusing and controversial.
Bearded and bespectacled @barfly777 amazes his 155,000 followers with his comfort foods clandestinely cooked mid-flight using kitchen equipment that passes through security inspectors.
In his latest video, he demonstrated how to cook his "mile-high bathroom garlic prawns and mash" recipe. From his bag, he took a pack of raw prawns, a pack of powdered mashed potatoes with garlic seasoning, two 6-volt batteries, and an immersion beverage heater.
Inside his "special" kitchen, the guy put the stopper in the drain, filled it with water to serve as an improvised pot, boiled it with the heater wired to the batteries, and tossed in the shrimp.
He placed the cooked prawns in a complimentary barf bag, put the instant mashed potatoes and garlic butter in the boiled water, sprinkled it with garlic seasoning, and mashed the mix with his hand. He then added the mashed potatoes to the barf bag and stepped out of the plane's toilet.
The TikTok video ended with @barfly777 enjoying his meal in his seat. It quickly went viral, racking up 720,000 views, according to NYP.
Some commenters were impressed with the lavatory cooking stunt, but others were disgusted by the unsanitary setting.
