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.

      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.

            Haha oh man, it’s one of my favorites. But you gotta watch the director’s cut.

        But you have to be 21 to drink it?

        I’m sure nobody who is pouring draft at 18 would ever think to sample their wares… for quality control, of course.
