There was no praise for the sugar itself, only for "the new 2 kg pack."
I'm sure that for a sugar manufacturer, the packaging is an integral part
of the product. It's awfully hard to distinguish one brand of sugar from
another except by the packaging. It's all looks and tastes the same when
you open the bag.
