“ The company hands out 61 million bags of peanuts every year, and about the same number of pretzels. A one-cent increase in peanut prices increases Delta’s costs by $610,000 a year. ”
Jad Mouawad in the New York Times: Airlines Studying the Science of Better In-Flight Meals.
Hey, 61,000,000×$0.01 = $610,000! Good to know the New York Times is on it. (Seriously, though, the scale is kind of baffling, and the rest of the article, pointing out how much the environment of flying makes it to do good catering, is worth a read.)
