2. put the "moist towelettes" in it along with hot water to warm them up for business class
3. store extra Biscoffs when they won't go back in their plastic wrappers
4. take drink orders/snack orders on
5. mix a "spa" treatment for dry skin - this is lemon juice, sugar, and club soda, lol
6. tear one in half and roll it down on the sides to create a creamer holder for the service cart
7. store customers' medicine
8. make a cold compress for headaches/bruises (on your thighs from elbows and armrests, lol)
9. create an anti-hyperventilation bag (person breathes into it to prevent passing out)
10. create a toy for toddlers - show them how to blow it up and make a balloon
11. Make a hand puppet - think Fandango commercials
12. Make a cooler for cold stuff - put ice in a double-bagged airsickness bag, and it will keep even ice cream cold, no joke.
