This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

I was in a Brazilian sugar mill once
they had a line packing 2kg bags of sugar. They also had a line packing 1kg boxes of organic sugar.

The carboard for the organic sugar was recycled, and was printed with green lettering.

There was one conveyor feeding both hoppers in the packing plant.

Well I hope they were getting double the price for their trouble.
Sugar is often "organic" in its production anyway, they were being smart.
It's a good example of the thinking though.

Of course they were.
The 1kg organic stuff cost more than the 2kg of 'normal' stuff.

It wasn't remotely organic of course. The cane is unchecked, it was 100% guaranteed grown using fertilizer.
