Transcript:

Recently, a flight attendant has shared a video explaining the products that you should never consume on a plane.  Basically, she says that you should only drink drinks that come in a bottle or a carton.  The water tanks that are used for tea and coffee are never cleaned, she explains.  She also goes on to explain that certain parts of the coffee machine are only cleaned if they break.  She went on to say that parents should never ask for hot water to put in their baby bottles.  Will you ask for a cup of coffee or tea the next time you fly?
