A couple flying Ryanair were reportedly charged almost $100 for trying to take two pastries on board their flight home, after the airline claimed the treats exceeded their cabin baggage limit.

The two passengers at Palma de Mallorca airport in Spain each tried to carry an ensaïmada, a traditional sweet Mallorcan pastry, along with their hand baggage. The budget airline carrier reportedly demanded an additional €45 ($48) from each passenger, according to The Guardian, which prompted the couple to abandon the snacks rather than cough up nearly $100.
