American Airlines, about four years ago, unveiled its newest concoction in the form of the 'Bistro'. The 'Bistro' is an amalgamation of various food products in a plastic bag, which features the word 'Bistro' that is proudly emblazoned on the outside. Closer inspection of the food products unveils a veritable cornucopia of taste sensations.

The menu varies depending upon the time of day when the passenger picks up the Bistro. Some early mornings will greet the Bistro holder with a banana that is so frozen, it feels as though it weighs eight pounds. Included with the banana will be a nut-grain bar of sorts that has enough roughage and fibre to clean out an embalming hose. Alas, the bottom of the bag will reveal a savoury libation, usually in the form of bottled water.

Later in the day, one will find a pre-fabricated ham and cheese sandwich on a roll, a bag of potato chips, and perhaps a cookie, along with the ubiquitous bottle of water.

The Bistro bag will also conveniently serve as a vomit holder.
