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.
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)
The cup itself is labeled 24oz, but it sounds like it can’t even fit that much liquid when filled.
Alcohol is usually held to stricter portion control than other foodstuffs since it’s more tightly regulated.
Like the mega pint
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.
In the US a pint is 16oz, unless you go to McMenamins in which case it’s 14oz.
I thought a pint was 16 oz. Quart is 32oz and gallon 128 oz.
It is in the us. Imperial gallons are bigger than us gallons for some reason.
