A North Texas man has filed a class action lawsuit against Cinemark, claiming the movie theater chain is lying to customers about the size of its drinks.
Shane Waldrop claims that Cinemark’s 24 ounce cups can only hold 22 ounces of liquid, according to the lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Waldrop took the empty container home and measured how much it could hold, discovering it only held 22 ounces.
I love this guy, totally something I would do
I like the thought of him picking up the cup at the counter, weighing it in his hand for just a moment, and saying to the kid young adult on the other side, “This feels a little light.”
Edit:I just remembered you had to be 18 to sell beer in Texas.
Ooh, John Wick or Resvoir Dogs. Now let me google it.
Lol, way off. Been a while on that one.
Shrinkflation noobs. Never specify the size of a (pseudo-)prepared product. It’s better to use abstract terms like large, extra large, and jumbo that can be shrunk down in size without increasing legal liability down whenever you wish to juice your profits a bit (/s)
Alcohol is usually held to stricter portion control than other foodstuffs since it’s more tightly regulated.
I canada, it’s illegal to call something a pint if it’s not 20oz/568mL
But i havent seen a real pint glass at any bar for many years a nobody calls out this behaviour or enforces the rules.
It is in the us. Imperial gallons are bigger than us gallons for some reason.
These are the lawsuits that I want to know more about!
This is capitalism gone too far!!
Not all heroes wear capes
