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

      Imagine getting 10" through one of those cardboard-tasting subway sandwiches and being sad there isn’t more to eat.

    On the one hand, lolz. Classic move theater scam. Love to spend $15 on stale popcorn that’s 30% salt and then another $20 on a drink, after walking in with an $8 movie ticket to see 30 minutes of ads.

    On the other hand, holy fuck dude. Maybe slightly less than half a pitcher of beer is more than enough?
