Establishments Playing Tricks With Glassware

And I thought the 14 oz 'pint' that's sweeping the US was bad...........:eusa_doh:

Wow that is crazy! I knew they did it with sodas and beverages that they put ice in but never saw this before.

Which is why some of us always order "NO ICE" or "Line The Bottom Only"...

I don't think it was an intentional trick, because the cups that are supposed to be the smaller 16 oz. size actually hold the full 20 oz. of liquid. So, people who paid for a small beer actually got the same amount of beer as those who bought the larger one. If you were going to rip someone off, you'd do it the other way around, as the video is insinuating. This is just a screwup somewhere along the way.

On a related note, I had always heard that if you want to order soup in a restaurant, order the cup of soup instead of the bowl, as it's cheaper and often about the same amount of soup.

I prefer the 20oz imperial pints from the local micro brewery. :beer:

I've noticed smaller content and raised prices at the grocery store. A half a gallon of ice cream is less than a half a gallon now days, but the price went up. Sorry, off topic.
