A plane passenger can smell another traveler's foul-smelling food in a recent video posted on social media.
Xavier Torrence, 25, told Fox News Digital that he was on the second leg of a trip from West Virginia to Tampa, Florida, about a week ago when someone in the seat behind him asked for a tuna melt. “It smelled bad,” he said. The whole plane. ”
Torrence didn't say anything to the passengers who opted for the toasted fish sandwich, but he shared his thoughts with his TikTok followers.

“I mean, why would you eat a tuna melt on a plane?!” Torrence wrote in the caption of the five-second video, which shows her covering her nose to block out the strong aroma.
The video had been viewed more than 713,000 times as of Friday afternoon.
“Honestly, I didn't expect the video to blow up as much as it did,” Torrence said.
The popularity of his post may have something to do with what he wrote in the video: “I strongly believe that anyone who eats on a plane should be jailed for 10 days.”

“I have a 10 hour flight coming up…do you think anyone would not eat on a flight?” one person wrote.
