Buying rice in bulk

I'm posting this here because I put jasmine rice on my grocery list, by accident my friend brought me a 50 pound bag of rice instead of the 5 pound bag I wanted.
I will be leaving the unused rice to her in my will.

I remember when this story first circulated - it was the wholesome content that made Twitter worthwhile, pre-Musk's takeover.
