Hot things in first class (1)

For my trip last week, I had some frequent flyer miles, so I upgraded to first class. I've only flown first class one or two other times in my life, so I'm still amazed by all the weird things I experience there. One common thread I noticed among all the strange little procedures in this area of the plane was that there was a tendency for the flight attendants to give us normal things, but to heat them up first. For example: - Hot nuts. Instead of the normal little bags of peanuts, we got mixed nuts in a little glass bowl, heated. I can't say I've ever had hot nuts before, and I also can't say I see the point.
- Hot food. This would seem normal, except it was almost like they took a meal that would normally be served cold and simply "added value" by serving it hot. The meal was a turkey and cheese wrap. I would've rather eaten it cold.
- Hot towel. No matter how many times this is explained to me, I still don't get it. Why would I want a wet towel? To clean my hands? After I ate? I guess it's like a wet nap, but "better". Whether it's hot or cold, I don't need it.
- Hot cookie. This is the only one that made sense. Take a normal chocolate chip cookie. Now stick it in the microwave. Bingo. Its value has been increased tenfold.

So, a microwave and slightly wider seats and they can charge you double unless you're a frequent flyer. That sounds about right. :-)
I don't know about the nuts they served you but one of the things I miss about living up there was the occasional trip into the city and a stop at a street vendor to get Hot Cashews. It was a treat!
