pre-travelogue: anticipating the "happy picnic"

Part of our trip involves a brief flight on a discount airline known as Germanwings. I know nothing about Germanwings, other than that their flights from London to Stuttgart are reasonably priced, and come with snack vouchers.

Only they aren't called snacks. No. Germanwings refers to its inflight snack service vouchers as "happy picnic" vouchers.

I did not add those quotes. Germanwings did.

I am unclear on what they are intending to get across with this, but I am imagining an extraordinarily good-looking, snarky, black-turtleneck-clad German man making scare quotes as he intones the words "happy picnic," with an ever-so-slightly curled lip.

Apparently the "happy picnic" snack comes with "assorted meats." I am at the same time trepidatious and eager to find out what it all means.

I bet there's a word for that in German.
