U.S. Airways has discovered another in-flight medium to sell to marketers - the barf bag. Phil Gee, a spokesperson form the airline said it's difficult not to notice the bag when rummaging through the seat back, and since it is a blank canvas it could be used to sell products or services. Apparently the barf bag is a carry on from the early days of aviation when there was severe turbulence. As of now no companies have decided to put their name on the bags. - GUSH Magazine
