Distributor cancelled an order and we need to move 30k bags of coffee [updated]
Others have pointed this out, but no one has actually done the math yet, so...<p>6000 &quot;units&quot; for $250,000 is $41&#x2F;unit.  At wholesale.  For a product that retails for $16&#x2F;bag.<p>It is just inconceivable that no one noticed this discrepancy.  This is not a &quot;grift&quot; by the distributor, this is an elementary and obvious fuckup by the producer.<p>In fact, it&#x27;s so elementary and obvious that it would not surprise me a bit if this whole thing turns out to be a publicity stunt that succeeded spectacularly well, at least for a little while, because once the cat is out of the bag all the people who bought that coffee will realize that they are the ones who got played.
