The Reddit user shared the image in the United Airlines thread.
The post was titled: ‘Odd trivia question.’
‘I open trivia on the back of my chair to this “lovely” trivia question. I don’t know about you but I feel someone needs to go scrub the trivia question list and take out some that don’t age well,’ the anonymous user said.
The question read: ‘Who was Hitler’s favorite actress?’
The four different response options included Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Temple and Gloria Swanson.
The Reddit user did not include the answer to the trivia question.
The unique question sparked a flood of controversy as people flocked to the comments section to slam the airline.
One person said: ‘Don’t age well? Was there a time in the history of in-flight trivia games where asking about Hitler’s favorite actress wasn’t cringy, at best?’

‘Well given the time we live in,’ someone else commented.
Another person wrote: ‘I’d say it’s pretty relevant today considering everything.’
