Don’t all rush … over 120kg of cocaine packages have washed up on NSW (Australia) beaches over the last few days.

Members of the public keep finding 39kg packages and I can’t help thinking “surely they’d have packed them rounded up to 40kg” … and wondering where the missing 1kg is …

The title makes it sound like bags of cocaine naturally come from the ocean.
