A customer who suggested Air New Zealand replace its lollies with prunes is being slammed on social media for his suggestion.
Freddie Coltart took to Facebook to suggest to the airline that, rather than its usual lollies, it should consider handing out a "healthier" option such as prunes.
"When I was flying a few weeks ago I noticed that a little boy was handing out sweets on the flight. I know you've been doing this for years but don't you think this might have become outdated? Kids eating sweets is bad for their dental and physical health," he wrote on the airline's Facebook page.
"In saying this I do understand these sweets are part of your brand. So I propose a healthier alternative ... What about handing out single-serving prunes instead? As one of NZ's biggest brands it would be good to be encouraging clean eating and healthy digestion."
"Consider the prune," he added.
