This Cheese Plate Influencer Flies JetBlue Economy Better Than You

We already know that Barbara Corcoran flies economy better than you, but Marissa Mullen most definitely flies JetBlue economy better than you.

Mullen is a "cheese influencer" — yes, really — and is the brains behind the Instagram @ThatCheesePlate. Side note: How does one become a cheese influencer? Need to know.

She was on a cross-country JetBlue flight on Jan. 11 and figured what better way to pass the time than to assemble a plate of cheddar, gouda and other dairy-laden products? Yeah, we can't think of anything, either.

First things first: The "Savor Up" box. It comes with hummus, pita chips, bean dip, crackers, biscotti and pitted olives. That, complimented with the "Party Up" box — complete with popcorn, Fig Newtons, and salami slices — provided her with the most beautiful plate of airplane cheese we've ever seen.

She even got the flight attendants on board (literally) — they even snuck her a box with the salami!

Special shoutout to Shayla, the real MVP of the flight.

Now the real question is: Can we go swimming in the salami river?!

As far the final product? See for yourself:

Looks gouda to us.
