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.

    Maybe slightly less than half a pitcher of beer is more than enough?

    If I pay for half a pitcher of beer, and you give me less than half a pitcher of beer, you still owe me more beer.

    Also, if you’re upset about how movie theaters are a scam, why are you defending this scammy behavior? No need to be self-righteous about alcohol consumption, Cinemark is defrauding customers by selling 24oz beers that aren’t 24oz. You can drink however little beer as you want, but you should still want honesty from the people selling it to you.

      Am I defending their behavior? I avoid theaters precisely because they’re such awful places to be.

      24oz is a lot of beer. I just have no idea why theaters are even offering that much, except for the fact that a small sized anything at a theater is minimum 12oz and 10x the price you’d get it at a grocery store. Its just more of the scam inherent in the business model.

        Why do you keep changing the subject to your opinion on alcohol consumption as if it were relevant to the conversation? If I pay for a set quantity of anything, and I get less than I paid for, I was cheated, your self-righteousness notwithstanding.

          “Beer makes you piss” is hardly an opinion. Alcohol is a diuretic.

          If I pay for a set quantity of anything, and I get less than I paid for, I was cheated

          If you think you’re getting cheated on volume, wait till you find out how badly they watered that beer down.

          your self-righteousness

          Is it self-righteous to outwit The Man simply watching movies at home, by pirating them, as God intended?

          You can down a full quart of liquor for less than one of those 24oz natty lites, while you’re at it.
