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

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)

These are the lawsuits that I want to know more about!

This is capitalism gone too far!!

North Texas man sues Cinemark claiming 24-ounce beer cups can't hold 24 ounces

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.

On Feb. 14, Waldrop went to the Cinemark in Grapevine and purchased the 20 ounce and 24 ounce draft beer.

He noticed the 24 ounce cup did not appear to be big enough to hold 4 more ounces of liquid.

Waldrop took the empty container home and measured how much it could hold, discovering it only held 22 ounces.

The cup was marked as a 24 oz cup.

Waldrop and his legal team says the movie theater chain is taking part in "deceptive" and "otherwise improper" business practices that violate state and federal laws about misbranding.

"This is especially misleading because the 24 oz drink should provide a deal for consumers over the 20 oz drink’s price: $0.37 per ounce vs. $0.39 per ounce. But due to the actual volume of 22 oz available in the ‘24 oz’ drink, the price is $0.40 per ounce making the larger drink more expensive per ounce, which is not a deal at all," reads the lawsuit.

The lawsuit says Waldrop brought the suit for himself and "all other persons nationwide."

He is seeking a jury trial.

Interesting! Is it only me or EU users or maybe everyone who's been blocked from their site?

Fuck em up Shane!

Meanwhile, people at many/most movie theaters in the US:

Foot long subs have a deal for you!

I thought they just pour a bottle/can in a cup and call it a day. That's what happened when I bought a buzzball for my wife last week. We weren't expecting a full cup of buzzball but we weren't complaining because we still got a full drink. They literally opened and poured it in front of us and tossed the empty container. I don't remember seeing anything on tap but that could just be my local Cinemark.
