When the bag is weighed and it’s .05 kg overweight, the desk attendant tells the traveler to pay 50 Euros for the overweight bag. The traveler scoffs about the fee since it’s only over by a smidge. Remembering chocolate was packed earlier in the day, the traveler opens the luggage, eats one-fourth of the chocolate bar, and reweighs the bag.
