Here's a cute idea from Air France. Many people have pressure in their ears during takeoff and landing, and chewing gum can help with that. So Air France has a solution: "To take care of its customers' ears, Air France has created its own French chewing gum “La gomme à mâcher” with the agency BETC.…

That's a macaron, not a macaroon. Looks like they misspelled it in the release and on the website. It's correct in the video, though.
Wait till passengers start sticking it under seats/ wherever they can, BAD idea imho there are some BAD people out there who want to do BAD things to us, you better believe it!
Are you really looking forward to finding someone else's chewed gum on you next Air France flight?
Do people actually book an airline Based on the food selection. Gimmie a break. Why bother reporting this. If I get coach quality food in first class that's one thing. But if I want food by a celebrity chef, I can find that in almost any major airport.
Bad idea! Wait till they have the whole cabin filled with gum sticked all over!
I love it! I'm not flying Air France soon but it's on one of my routes so looking forward to it.
I used to stick gum in the cigarette ashtrays built into every airline seat. But I can't remember doing that recently. Maybe too many people stuck gum into them.
"With La gomme à mâcher, Air France is once again illustrating French savoir-faire throughout the world."
Sorry, I just laughed out loud. Nothing, not even free vintage Champagne, can transform the awful experience of CDG....
I'm not flying those routes but might be in the AF lounge in CDG, will let you know if I try it!
Ugh! As if listening to someone chewing gum on terra firma isn't gross enough, being forced to listen to an entire herd of cows chewing their "green-cud" across the Atlantic would be udder torture for this misophonist. And let's not begin to imagine where all the green guey stuff would be stuck...
Just for giggles I priced ordering a few packs and having them shipped to the US.
Over EUR 100 to ship to Washington DC. LOL
Saw these up for grabs at one if the 2F salons a few days ago, but didn't look closer...sounds interesting, although I don't know if the flavours work 🙂
@Tony Mille merci - my daughter is so delighted that I could purchase the chewing gum at Colette! I love that this blog has such a wide reach.
