[QUOTE=MasterKade;49280128]Probably just a delivery accident?[/QUOTE] No, that's just economy shipping.
Probably someone lost a shipping container and it burst open
Stuff like this happens dozens of times a year, if not hundreds. A container with buoyant cargo can remain at sea for a damned long time.
Somebody is trying to turn the oceans into coffee and free us from the tyrannical grip of chain coffee joints.
Cafe Bustelo is an extremely famous coffee brand in the caribbean (in Cuba and Puerto Rico, at least) and its prices have been shooting up in the US lately (combined with packaging getting smaller in size), and this will likely drive prices up even further. I will never hear the end of this when my family finds out...
El Faro?
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;49280291]El Faro?[/QUOTE] I was thinking that too. Is there anything documented as to what El Faro was carrying?

[QUOTE=Bazsil;49280811]they were still sealed and consumable? nice id have grabbed a bunch of em[/QUOTE]A bunch? Try [U]all[/U] of them. They'd find me dead in a tub full of coffee, my kidneys and liver completely shot from trying to process all that goddamn caffeine. I'd look like one of those guys the Joker got to in that Batman cartoon, the guys with the crazy, scary-as-fuck grins. [editline]9th December 2015[/editline] Fun fact: they did that because the network didn't want to show anyone getting killed because it would be too scary for kids. Thing is though that shit was more horrific than showing a dead cartoon man any day of the week.
Viral advertising stunt.
A Cargo ship off shore lost about 25 containers on it's way to Puerto Rico, and evidently at least one had a bunch of coffee in it. Wish this was closer to Jacksonville, I'd gladly help myself to some free coffee.
