'Americans eating like': Rynair mocks US eating habits, shares viral video of a girl dipping butter in cola drink

Irish airline Ryanair has sparked widespread discussion online after sharing a screenshot from a viral video of a woman eating butter dipped in a cola drink with the caption, "Americans eating like they have free healthcare."

The post quickly gained attention on social media, with users debating both the unusual food combination and Ryanair's remark.

Viral video crosses 1.4 million views

The original video features a young woman eating butter dipped in Dr Pepper while explaining why she enjoys the combination.


In the clip, she says, "If you don't like butter, we can't be friends," before tasting the snack. She describes the drink as adding "a little fruity sweetness" and calls the combination "so good." She also jokes about viewers not noticing her stained nails before continuing to eat.

The video has garnered more than 1.4 million views.

Social media users react

Ryanair's post prompted a flood of reactions, with users responding to both the food trend and the airline's healthcare reference.

One user commented, "They can always come to India for cheap healthcare."

Another wrote, "Ryanair's intern has caused more international discourse than some politicians."

A separate comment read, "Unlike the rest of the world, Americans have so much food, it's ridiculous. Their cheapest food is considered a luxury to Europeans. They don't have free health care, but their health care is so advanced, it feels like the rest of the world lives in the Stone Age."

Others continued the humour, with one user posting, "At least she can't fall out of a plane window if she ever flies with Ryanair."

Another wrote, "Europe invents free healthcare. America invents new ways to need it."

A further comment said, "Butter + Dr Pepper: the official pre-game meal for a $40,000 ER visit."
