When it's cold outside (i.e. every freaking day in Chicago), we have to deice. That means someone drives around in a truck with a supersoaker on it and sprays the plane for like 10 minutes while we sit and wait to takeoff. The glycol solution they use is super-slippery, and since we often board and deplane with the aircraft stairs at O'Hare instead of a jetbridge (ghetto, I know), this super-slippery glycol gets all up on the galley floor. Which is why I totally ate it during our pre-departure demo while I was attempting to point out the emergency exits to first class. It was pretty loud when I hit the floor, so loud that later the Captain told me he thought an atlas (one of our galley soda containers) had fallen out. There was much gasping and are-you-oks from the passengers; the aft F/A asked if I was alright over the PA, before helpfully describing the fall to those who may have missed it the first time around. My good friend Beyoncé has agreed to reenact the scene for you:
