"For anxious travellers everywhere, the gelatine dessert might just be the surprisingly sweet solution to surviving turbulence. The clip, posted by content creator Anna Paul, who has nearly eight million followers across her platforms, became a global sensation. Racking up more than 42 million views, Anna demonstrates a tip she claims to have learnt from a pilot. Using a pot of jelly to represent the air and a scrunched-up napkin as the plane,"
"'Before I became a travel writer, I was petrified of flying,' she admits in the Express. 'The anxiety-driven fear of turbulence was enough to make me sweat in my seat as I clutched the hand of my unfortunate travel companion'. Every small bump sent her heart racing, and, like many other anxious flyers, she would hold her breath until the wheels were firmly back on the runway again."
Nearly seven million Brits experience aviophobia, a fear of flying that can cause sweating, shaking, panic attacks and avoidance of travel. Travel journalist Amy Jones previously suffered intense anxiety about turbulence, gripping companions and holding her breath until touchdown. A viral TikTok by content creator Anna Paul offers a simple demonstration using jelly and a scrunched napkin to represent air and a plane. The clip, viewed millions of times, shows that tapping the jelly causes surface wobble while the napkin remains stable, offering a calming visual metaphor to reassure anxious flyers.
