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.

    No, it’s not pre-cooked weight.

    Chipotle is supposed to give 4oz of meat post-cooked.

    It’s why McDonald’s has crosses specifying it’s pre-cooked weight and Chipotle does not.

          Wow did you not read the “Serving size is approximate” part??? That means that it doesn’t have to be exactly 4oz every time which was your original complaint.

            He’s right though. Approximations are still derived from averages and data, they can’t just be routinely completely wrong.

            If I have 10,000 steaks that were 15oz before cooking, and generally weigh 11oz after cooking, with maybe 100 outliers that are still 14oz, then I can’t say they weigh “approximately 14oz”, just as I can’t say they weigh “approximately 8 tons”.

            Similarly, cereal is often “sold by weight, not volume” to ensure consumers aren’t suing about cereal boxes that are half full. There’s actually a logical explanation behind the missing quantity.

            I was curious if you would mention that but thought better of you.

            Sure, it doesn’t have to be exactly 4oz. But it’s usually not even close.

            Here’s your comment:

            You do know that is pree cooked weight right? The cooking process evaporates water and renders fat. This makes cooked weight less than advertised weight.

            Now you’re moving the goalposts and saying it’s “approximate.”

            Why can’t you people ever admit when you’re wrong? Lol.

              Wait are you downvoting and complaining about this

              Why can’t you people ever admit when you’re wrong? Lol.

              When you straight up did that in you last post, completely ignoring that you were wrong.

              Dude if you are this upset about Chipotle you need to get out more.

              Oh and by the way I guarantee that it is oz volume not oz weight. I worked in kitchens when I was younger. They have a 4oz volume scope and just scoop some in the meal. If you are trying to get a 4oz weight it will never be close.

              Maybe just hang that keyboard up for the day and take a walk
