Figured it out Coffee to OZThe problem is probably that "green/unroasted" bit... Lot of coffee diseases overseas that Oz doesn't have yet, so quarantine laws can be pretty strick. I dunno whether Hawaii is also largely free...
Nancy Nancy Nancy....this isn't an argument. I'm not defending the sugar companies because there IS NOTHING TO DEFEND AGAINST. Most of the people in this discussion want to believe that sugar companies have shrunk the 5 lb bag to 4 lbs. This is not the case. Here's the link to the C&H web site. They make multiple sizes: Hy-Vee has chosen to carry the 4 lb bag, not the 5 lb. If you want to know why, you can call them and I'm sure they'll give you a perfectly good explantion.

Nothing has been shrunken. Now, if you want to point a finger at a company that really did shrink a package, follow this link to some old discussions about Breyers ice cream. You'll have to rebuttemble the link in a text editor.
The major complaints involved two things: 1) Some supermarkets kept using signs that said "1/2 gallon". Clearly, that was not Breyers fault. 2) Breyers didn't call customers one at a time on the phone and let them know the package was shrinking.
The finger should be pointed at the supermarkets.
