Yeah, what's so what's the subject that's got nothing most sidetracked? Yeah over the years of doing this podcast

You know what it is next slide please. It's sandwiches

Yeah, look about whenever this was fucking a cheese steak or something shows up

We got to talk about sandwiches. So we got to talk about a whole other war. We've done World War 2

Now we're gonna get into a much bloodier conflict the 1958 sandwich war

I love this fucking story. I put this in barely relevant, but I put it in because I really enjoy it

So okay, 1958 the jet age is happening and jet tickets are getting too expensive

You know package holidays haven't been invented yet

And you know, it's too expensive to be able to fly in first business class

It kind of hasn't really been invented yet, and so the airlines have to invent

Economy class, which is initially called austerity class, which I think is more honest

I can't like that. Yeah, I actually prefer that don't lie to me. You know what I mean?

We're on the economy, but like only some of us are in austerity

But as we've mentioned before on like air-related ones

Airlines are incredibly weirdly tightly regulated

Until about the 70s when the airline industry is allowed to deregulate itself

And ayata the International Air Travel Association

Orders that in economy class you can only serve coffee tea

Mineral water and sandwiches

And then

Europe sort of fights back Swiss air in this fantastic case of malicious compliance serves a full meal entirely in sandwich form

God bless them yep
