The post soon went viral on X.
"Third class's menu looked good to me," a user commented.
Another user wrote, "Noticed the 3rd class menu offers gruel for supper? Might not exactly be a "happy meal" unto its own..."
"The third class probably didn't even have condiments. Like whiskey for their porridge," the third user wrote.
On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg, leading to its sinking in the frigid North Atlantic waters on April 15, 1912. Reportedly, the collision and subsequent sinking led to the death of 1,500 passengers.
