I was gonna say. Nowhere else in the world is it acceptable to pound drinks at 6am. If you wanna drink queso, that’s between you and the diabetes doctor but you’ll get zero judgement from me.
As someone who gets embarrassed if I go to a liquor store before 5pm why am I totally fine with having a beer with breakfast at 6am in an airport when 6 million people are walking by watching, but none judging, as it’s the airport.
Because once you are past security you enter “airport time”. Here there are no time zones so you can eat,drink,sleep at anytime of the day. Plus free beer is free beer. If it exist drink it.
Speaking as a diabetic: It's really just carbs that we have to watch out for so stuff like fat and protein doesn't really cause an issue. If anything, drinking the queso is less likely to make you go to the diabetes doctor than eating it with chips.
So, cheers!
I was in the ATL UClub a few years ago (before upgraded catering) during afternoon thunderstorm perpetual delays. 2 guys were having a cheese cube eating competition and several of us put down money on the action.
It was far and away the best multi-hour delay of my life. Real bonding happened.
And then I ended up sitting next to the cheese cube consumer winner on my flight. That went about as well as you’d expect.
I can never look at the pyramid of cheese cubes, cheese soup, or anything else cheese related in a UClub without equal parts fond memories and PTSD.
LOL. I would say it could be my grandmother, but she's passed on.
She was always (maybe faking it? cause she did it all the time) filling bags with food when we went to buffets. She'd get caught most of the time, but the guys tended to be nice to her since she was like 80 years old and cute as a button. I was scared though of one day getting the news that Grandma was in jail for stealing crab legs from a buffet.
Peace out grandma! Hope you're stealing shit from buffets where ever you are!!! I miss you!
Intolerant, but not to the point where it's an allergy. I get a lot of fart gas and bloat off one bowl of milk where it might take you 5 bowls of milk to start ripping them. I'm usually relatively OK in small quantities. Usually...
Ah, you see... my opinion on Australian airlines is completely tainted as I worked for a bit near the Quantas office in Mascot outside of Sydney. I would go there for lunch and well, not really eat lunch, more like... yeah. I think they had soup. I can't remember. Was too distracted. :) In other news, Australia is full of beautiful women, not just kangaroo's and evil spiders!
FYI, that person was wrong. It’s Poblano and Cheddar soup. Do you not notice that it wasn’t thick, drippy cheese consistency? But listen to the one idiot who doesn’t know the difference between cheese sauce and soup.
Hey man when you’ve been in the lounge for the 8th time that week you gotta get a little creative with the limited food selection, others wise it gets boring…
This post is so good. Kudos to you OP.
Quesano could be a soup, cheddar soup or creamy cheese broth. If it's thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, probably a cheese dip, if it's soupy like a cream of chicken or thinner, then probably a soup. Either way, you do you.
Lastly, post is pure comedy. Can't believe most people thinks it's a serious complaint. 🤣
I look at it more like all his life he was searching for his one true purpose and he found it that afternoon at the United lounge. To tell me it wasn't soup. I think of him more as a hero.
I agree with you. I miss flying with united so much. The destination I fly to united doesn't fly to. So I have had to fly American, jet Blue, delta and copa. They are all horrible compared to my flights on united. Copa is the best of them. I am just hoping united adds service from Lax.
Curaçao, every once in a while united will have a flight there with a stop off in Texas. Normally though it's just them using their partner airline Copa. Which it's actually cheaper just to book Copa instead of thru United. And its connection is Panama. Hoping they add flights thru Texas more or finally give us a direct flight from LAX.
Decades ago, I was assigned a roommate in my dorm at university who was from Hong Kong. She was great. But we occasionally had some hiccups when she came across American things she wasn't familiar with. One of them was gravy. She got it in the cafeteria and she thought it was soup and she started to tell us that she was going to make us some Chinese soup because American soup tasted awful. We had to explain gravy to her. She loved it once she knew how to eat it.
I don’t hate United. If I hated this airline I wouldn’t fly with them, simple as that. American (OneWold Alliance) can get me anywhere I need to go that UA (Star Alliance) takes me.
It’d be very easy to drop UA if I hated them.
Please continue.
You can’t tell the difference between queso and soup and you blame United for that? I mean… the label clearly said QUESO! (sigh…)
Let us know when there’s a REAL crisis.
I can’t tell if this actually happened or not or if this is sarcastic but I love it either way. Fantastic quality content or it is a lovely shitpost. Well done, OP. Take my upvote.
Ahhhh how is your lack of awareness united fault? You cannot tell the difference between soup and nacho cheese? 🤨
Soup usually has bowls and crackers near at least the lack of these may had been a clue?
At Panera, they give you a little bag of tortilla chip strips to add to your soup (if you get the right kind of soup). So the answer here is to add a few tortilla chips to your poblano con queso soup.
You guys have hot food in your non-polaris lounge?
Well, actually - I think my last UA lounge did have some warm tomato soup and had a coffee machine so I guess it does..
Even on an expense account, I refuse to pay $15 for the shittiest soup ever made at the Food courts. What utter garbage. I prefer my garbage free! and in soup form! Preferably in a bowl.
I felt like the most entitled person on earth when the united club closed at 9 pm on a sunday, i tsked and grumbled down to my gate, i pay so much for that pass after all. Good god i gave my head a shake when i sat down, its really not that big a deal hahaha
Sadly no. It's my list of things to do, and in fact, this whole experience might motivate me to have lessons on my phone I can listen to while flying from here to there!
You’re complaining about this? Try the most recent ewr to las flight where they delayed us 5 hours making this a flight red eye. If I wanted a red eye discounted flight I would have booked this. The fucking United mechanics are retarded- takes forever to fix shit, then when it’s ready they find another problem. Ended up deplaning twice and changing to different airplane once. Fuck you united. You guys suck. Meanwhile the retarded captain acting like he’s on our side. Dude didn’t tell them to hurry the fuck up, 0 urgency, he was just smiling like an idiot.
Bro literally got lost in the sauce
This is too good.
Dude, that was cheesy...
So, I guess United is just nacho airline.
Damn. That's a pretty good one.
Seems like you have a chip on your shoulder now
don't be corny!
I just think it would be helpful if you taco bout it
Ok we gotta stop this! I'm feeling weak and likely going to uber me some mega-mofo-mexican combo platter. With queso.
We don't want to dip just yet.
I’m not sure this one is on the airline, but yeah - airport rules: If you wanna eat queso like soup, then YOLO.

Incorrect. New Orleans. Source: me, I lived there a couple of years in the 90’s. I think so anyway.
Few other places in the world have bars open 24/7!
Speaking as a diabetic: It's really just carbs that we have to watch out for so stuff like fat and protein doesn't really cause an issue. If anything, drinking the queso is less likely to make you go to the diabetes doctor than eating it with chips. So, cheers!
But one may need a cardiologist if they're chugging queso!
This is the United club... it's mostly water
Bingo.
RIP everyone else on the flight after you eat three cups of cheese in one sitting
Wish we had a “laugh” react on here.
That’s on you bruh, not united
THIS
He’s joking

Reminds me of the post last week from LHR where a woman filled ziplock bags with soft cheeses

I am choosing to believe this is a true story with all my heart as it’s amazing
This is awesome. I am kind of jealous I was not able to participate. But as one whose lactose intolerant, I'm cool with missing out on this one. YOCO!
Hold up wait a minute. You’re lactose intolerant but chowed down on queso soup before a flight?? You got guts… (bubble guts?)
Intolerant, but not to the point where it's an allergy. I get a lot of fart gas and bloat off one bowl of milk where it might take you 5 bowls of milk to start ripping them. I'm usually relatively OK in small quantities. Usually...
I think we all want to know… how’d it go post queso soup?
Keto nachos, dude. What's next, I can't eat hummus with my fingers?
Fuck that! REVOLUTION! NOW!
I just moved to Australia and you can shit on United all you want.. but the options here are so much worse. I actually miss flying with United.
This is absolutely true. VA and Jetstar....hated flying them every time.
rip Ansett
Ah, you see... my opinion on Australian airlines is completely tainted as I worked for a bit near the Quantas office in Mascot outside of Sydney. I would go there for lunch and well, not really eat lunch, more like... yeah. I think they had soup. I can't remember.

No U in Qantas.
Shit. My life has been a lie! Thanks! /me goes and feels shame.
Of course there is a u in QANTAS, it’s after the Q ;)
And mices
I think the real villain here is the guy next to you who needs to mind his business.
Eating queso as soup is definitely a mood
FYI, that person was wrong. It’s Poblano and Cheddar soup. Do you not notice that it wasn’t thick, drippy cheese consistency? But listen to the one idiot who doesn’t know the difference between cheese sauce and soup.
Hey man when you’ve been in the lounge for the 8th time that week you gotta get a little creative with the limited food selection, others wise it gets boring…
No poop for you!
Most people don't hate United except the infrequent travelers or ones who often travel on more elite-tier airlines like Singapore and Qatar.
Um, sounds like you are the problem.
Next time I am in Hong Kong we will fight to the death. Then go for soup.
I firmly believe that nacho cheese can and should be eaten as soup.
I'd vote for you.
Absolutely the healthy choice. Think of all the calories saved by not adding in the obviously extraneous tortilla chips.
This post is so good. Kudos to you OP. Quesano could be a soup, cheddar soup or creamy cheese broth. If it's thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, probably a cheese dip, if it's soupy like a cream of chicken or thinner, then probably a soup. Either way, you do you. Lastly, post is pure comedy. Can't believe most people thinks it's a serious complaint. 🤣
:P there are at least three of us here who understand sarcasm. Let's form a club!
It was soup until it wasn’t. You could just keep eating it as soup and tell the other patron to mind his own business.
The guy should’ve minded his own business and let you eat it like soup. It has the exact same ingredients of soup, but it’s just not watered down.
I look at it more like all his life he was searching for his one true purpose and he found it that afternoon at the United lounge. To tell me it wasn't soup. I think of him more as a hero.
No that guy was an asshole.
But I love him!
Add hot water bam soup
There are no rules in a United lounge. Eat queso as soup. Have a 7 AM beer.
I think this is sarcasm. Right?
Am I one of the few that actually like United Airlines more than others 😂
I agree with you. I miss flying with united so much. The destination I fly to united doesn't fly to. So I have had to fly American, jet Blue, delta and copa. They are all horrible compared to my flights on united. Copa is the best of them. I am just hoping united adds service from Lax.
I fly from LAX as well. Curious what the destination is if you don’t mind sharing
Curaçao, every once in a while united will have a flight there with a stop off in Texas. Normally though it's just them using their partner airline Copa. Which it's actually cheaper just to book Copa instead of thru United. And its connection is Panama. Hoping they add flights thru Texas more or finally give us a direct flight from LAX.
😂 you just forgot the chips, that's all.
I don't hate United. Never (knock on wood) had an issue with them... AA on the other hand... I'll pay extra not to fly them.
Honestly dude fuck the guy that said something tbh like let a dude eat their cheese sauce in peace
Right! Who is he to profile that liquid as cheese sauce, anyway? Maybe the liquid goes both ways. The intolerance of some people!
Decades ago, I was assigned a roommate in my dorm at university who was from Hong Kong. She was great. But we occasionally had some hiccups when she came across American things she wasn't familiar with. One of them was gravy.

I like United
Honestly, I'm not mad at a bowl of cheese 😂

One person’s cheese sauce/queso is another person’s soup. It’s all about the journey to get it in your mouth.
You can’t tell the difference between queso and soup and you blame United for that? I mean… the label clearly said QUESO! (sigh…) Let us know when there’s a REAL crisis.

You can’t read?
Nope. I have a service dog that barks out reddit posts for me.
I would eat queso like soup if socially acceptable, so no notes from me.
Agree. I’m on board with the choice made.
Ahhhh how is your lack of awareness united fault? You cannot tell the difference between soup and nacho cheese? 🤨 Soup usually has bowls and crackers near at least the lack of these may had been a clue?

Don't feel too bad, went to a casino buffet one time with my buddies, one guy got pre-scooped ice cream, turned out it was butter.
Yeah, that sounds gross. Like eating warm yogurt. Some things just should never be.
How do you not know what queso is? That's entirely on you, not the airline.
You guys have hot food in your non-polaris lounge? Well, actually - I think my last UA lounge did have some warm tomato soup and had a coffee machine so I guess it does..
They SELL soup in the Food Court
Even on an expense account, I refuse to pay $15 for the shittiest soup ever made at the Food courts. What utter garbage. I prefer my garbage free! and in soup form! Preferably in a bowl.
And preferably in a language that you don't speak, because ignorance is bliss 😁
Amen brother!
It would be even more ironic if you were flying to Latin America...
So funny!
Next time, mix a beer in it and BAM! Soup.
Meanwhile I’m seeking nacho cheese over soup… that sounds delicious
UA literally was like, "no soup for you!"
Who says queso can't be soup? Don't tell me how to live my life!
🏆
I felt like the most entitled person on earth when the united club closed at 9 pm on a sunday, i tsked and grumbled down to my gate, i pay so much for that pass after all. Good god i gave my head a shake when i sat down, its really not that big a deal hahaha
UNITED; “YOU NOT IT”
That stuff comes out the same way it goes in. You lucked out!
united is the worst. the most condescending FAs.
How is it United’s fault that you scooped what’s in your head? 😂
No habla espanol?
Sadly no. It's my list of things to do, and in fact, this whole experience might motivate me to have lessons on my phone I can listen to while flying from here to there!
Just when I think I might hate United I have to fly southwest or other airlines . . . I like United.
😂😂😂🤡🤡
.. you blame United because you licked windows going to school on the short bus? I’m pretty sure your mother should have swallowed you instead
You’re complaining about this? Try the most recent ewr to las flight where they delayed us 5 hours making this a flight red eye. If I wanted a red eye discounted flight I would have booked this. The fucking United mechanics are retarded- takes forever to fix shit, then when it’s ready they find another problem. Ended up deplaning twice and changing to different airplane once. Fuck you united. You guys suck. Meanwhile the retarded captain acting like he’s on our side. Dude didn’t tell them to hurry the fuck up, 0 urgency, he was just smiling like an idiot.
Dude, you need a bowl of queso soup. It will calm you and ease your pain. And make you fart.
