Everybody likes fruit - well, maybe not those aboard a plane who constantly point out how annoying peeling the treats can be.
The debate over whether peeling oranges, and other fruit, on a plane began after a Reddit user created a post yesterday asking about the move.
'Out of curiosity, is it rude to peel oranges on a flight?.' the user asked.
The person on Reddit also asked the same question on a different subreddit and wrote that they 'love the smell of citrus.'
Other Reddit users are split on whether its rude or OK to peel oranges on a plane, and the debate has even spread to other social media platforms.
'Just don’t hand me your mess of peelings while I’m walking down the aisle doing my compliance checks with no gloves and no trash bags,' one flight attendant wrote in response.
A debate ignited from Reddit posts created on two subreddits yesterday about peeling oranges on planes and if it's rude

The original poster revealed that they 'love the smell of citrus' but are not sure if it's offensive to the fliers who sit next to him
A dietician and frequent flier revealed in Vane Airport Mag that a big 'don't' when entering an aircraft is bringing 'messy fruits.'
'Oranges on airplanes are a disaster unless they’re the little clementines,' the flier wrote.
'The juice from cut fruit like pineapple can leak all over your carry-on and sticky everything in sight. Anything you need to use a napkin to tame isn’t your friend on the flight.'
However, a flier and TikTok user known as @_maxn_ managed to peal an orange with his hands without making a mess in his seat on a video he posted in 2022.
The TikToker is not the only person who is okay with peeling an orange on a plane.
Reddit users who have commented on the original poster's posts have written why they think the orange peeling habit is okay on a plane.

Social media users have given their reasons as to why they believe it is or isn't rude for someone to peel an orange on a flight
'I would love to smell fresh oranges on a flight, so many worse smells I have been forced to endure,' one user wrote.
'As long as you don’t stick the peels in the seat back pocket, you’re good!' another poster added
A few Reddit users commented that they would think it's rude and that fliers should just 'peel it ahead of time.'
One Reddit user who doesn't mind someone peeling an orange on their flight noted in their comment that airlines are concerned about the health risks that can come from oranges on a plane.
According to the Transportation Security Administration: 'Solid food items (not liquids or gels) can be transported in either your carry-on or checked bags within the continental United States.'
The TSA regulations also say that 'passengers flying from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. mainland cannot take most fresh fruits and vegetables.'
The reason for these rules is because of 'the risk of spreading invasive plant pests.'
This rule may not apply to Europe based on what a flight attendant and TikToker did in a video she posted last year about pomegranates. Ericka Renee was obsessed the fruit when she recorded the video on the plane.
Renee claimed there was nobody on the plane except for the crew.
The flight attendant went on to show users how she eats the fruit and that she uses a butter knife to do so.
However, she proved in the video that pomegranates are harder to eat on an aircraft and that they can make a mess. The seeds came out of the pomegranate after Renee cut the fruit with the butter knife and then was 'popping out' the rest that were stuck.
Because of the container Renee used, her pomegranate appeared to work out as an airplane snack without making a mess.
Social media users have not commented about their opinions of pomegranates on planes, but a TikTok user did reveal in the comment sections that she wanted to try the fruit.
Users who are wanting to eat the fruit in a non-messy way can opt to purchase a TSA approved snack - chocolate covered pomegranate seeds.
These snacks can be purchased at most supermarkets and can also be purchased on Amazon.
