Have you ever eaten anything in freefall?

I chew gum regularly, but nothing more exciting than that i'm afraid.

A friend and I peeled and ate bananas in freefall. The video is a riot.

...it seemed noticeably more "tasteful" - is this because the air is different up there?

I don't know if it's something in the air, but I TOTALLY know what you mean. I ate part of a Rice Krispie treat in freefall, and it was absolutely the best thing I have ever tasted in my life.

And I don't even like Rice Krispie treats very well!

=============================

I've eaten a few sneakers doing RW. Actually, one was a foot in a sandal. Ew.

I ate my old chest-mounted altimeter a few times on deployment. Chipped a tooth once doing that.

Eaten dirt on more landings than I can count.

Oh, and I've funneled and eaten shit.

this is nuts...I never though of eating stuff in freefall. I'm always up for something stupid and or fun and I'm falling behind.

Would just like to add a post script to this thread...if anyone is thinking of eating a banana, cookies, slice of pizza, 3 course meal etc while in freefall, watch out - i heard from people vastly more experienced than i that from their experience, if you lose a bit of food, it can have a propensity to go up nostrils where it can be stuck for a while. I would advise eating it on your back, using your chest as a "wind shield" rather than a belly to earth position. I wouuld also say small hard things like nuts would probably not be the best idea as i doubt you'll find anyone close enough or willing to suck it down trying to heimlich you

Also if you are holding onto something - like banana peel - try and remember to track off with it in the opposite hand to whichever one you use to pull with. I forgot this bit and had to swop as i was flaring out my track

I had a cheeseburger dinner date out of a 182. it was a sunset load and we didn't have enough time for altitude so we ate our burgers on exit for a pop n hop.

on another pop n hop, I ate a banana. the next step is to have dinner in freefall.

has anyone had close chocking incidents?

the ground IS the limit
