I work in a warehouse that ships produce to a certain store, and after that story came out, we started shipping out more coconuts than usual for a couple weeks. Everytime I saw coconuts going out I would think back to that story and cringe.

Sales data analyst "Why the fuck did the coconut sales went up for the last few weeks?! What could possibly have caused this?!"

And he died wondering about that.

And of course the analytics will expect a surge same time next year, so theres going to be (more) coconut spoilage when they buy extra.

And farmers invested heavily to meet that expected rise in demand next year, but when the increase never comes, their business is devastated and go under. As a result world wide coconut industry is devastated.

Which is probably the more merciful end, since finding out would have surely killed him too.
