The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun Fact.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Fred's fun.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
So much guys.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
So I received this in my DMS, and so we're
going with it for the fun Fact because it was
a contribution from Heather. Heather sent this from my Instagram.
It says passengers near the tail of the airplane are
forty percent more likely to survive a crash than those
in the front. Now that's interesting to me because I
was under the impression that if you were over the
wing you were safest because that's the strongest part of

(00:38):
the airplane, the wing. But no, according to whatever, this
is plain sanity, which I trust yep. American Airlines in
nineteen eighty seven saved forty thousand dollars by eliminating one
olive from its first class salads.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Just one.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Have we done the math on this roughly? But subway,
you know, if you got a subway, they give you
the napkins. They don't have napkins. They smart out, they
give them to you and they give you two or three.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I think it's two.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
And if you think about that, like it's very smart
because if you think all the subways, and if you
think about how you take napkins at a fast food restaurant.
I take like half of the container yep, and then
I only use a couple so that's probably pretty good.
Let me see here. Did you know there's an airline
called Janet Airlines. It's a secret airline run by the
US government. It takes people from Las Vegas to Area

(01:32):
fifty one, allegedly.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
What's that secret anymore? Well, well, you're right, sorry, sorry
about that, ye more. Freadshell next
