Did no one notice I bought 20 oz not 16.9 oz bottle I got ripped off
I saw that immediately, that’s so illegal. You should record it and report it to the appropriate 3-letter agency (no idea which one). Doubt you’ll get the money back, but making the assholes that run that machine deal with the government would be worth it to me.
Bro thinks CIA gonna be bustin’ down Pepsis door
The three letter agencies are the spooks the MIB’s the guy’s who disappeared Epstein.
You are looking for something more boring like the Health department or department of agriculture.
So the DOA? :D
I’d be more surprised if the government didn’t fine they guy reporting or require a lawyer to go through layers of bureaucratic nonsense designed to make it so hard to do anything the average person won’t bother.
USDA
United States Department of Agriculture.
That’s what mom calls them when they’re in trouble.
Yeah but the machine is in ounces, where the can is in Florida ounces. Once you convert it’s perfectly fine.
TIL that an American pint (500ml) is smaller than a British pint (568ml).
The American pint is actually only 473ml! That’s a half litre bottle.
Then there’s some dodgy measurements going on the side of that can.
Also explains when I’ve been in America and asked for a pint of beer I’ve been given a child’s size glass compared to what I’m used to
Well it says 1.05 pints in the pic though 500ml would be 473 x 1.056 so technically correct but yes definitely on second part.
Ah right, I’m not good at maths so thank you.
47 cl vs. 57 cl, really ?
In Europe, the pint is at an even 50 cl.
An imperial pint is 568ml.
Do they use pints in Europe?
Ireland and the UK use the imperial pint in pubs (568ml). Everything else in Ireland at least is metric for liquids.
Speaking for NL:
25cl20cl is a “Small Flute” locally (fluitje)50cl25cl is a “Small Vase” (vaasje)If you ask for “A small pilsner” (pilsje) you’d normally get the 25cl or sometimes the 33cl glass of the beer on tap.
There are various regional names for 50cl, but “pint” is common, since it’s quite close.
In France, for beer, it would be a “baron”, while 1l would be a “formidable”.
I suppose each place has such names.
Though in Finland 44cl is very common as well
That’s an interesting one, where does it come from?
I looked into it, most places will sell “big” pints which are either 40cl or 50cl (though many craft breweries sell 44cl cans). I couldn’t find an exact reason for the 40cl pints, but apparently they became common in the 90’s due to recession and price increases and such. Beer in restaurants, bars and pubs is quite expensive here in general
TIL Brits have bigger pints, not just small baby sized shots! Does it balance out?
I thought the same, but they still make the 20 Oz bottles. Looks like the vending machine company is either cheating people or forgot to update the placards - https://www.target.com/p/pepsi-cola-soda-20-fl-oz-bottle/-/A-12979694
Its like when you buy a 1tb drive and the real capacity shows up as like 920Gb lol
How could this possibly even happen?
Has to be corporate greed.
Ran out of bottles using freedom units, had to use rest-of-the-world units instead. Thanks, Trump.
Soda is sold in 600ml bottles all over the world.
Maybe US territories all over the world.
Coca-Cola recently issued a 750ml bottle in Japan, where it had always been either 500ml or 1.5l.
Not here.
Never heard of that.
hwat
The silver lining is that people (Americans?) will be consuming less soda.
68ml short of a Pint in my book. Dunno where they got the idea that 500ml is 1.05 pints
Yeah, what’s FL OZ? A parrot walked on the keyboard?
Shrinkflation! Must have taken a cold shower.
I believe this is what the c-suite types are referring to as “innovation”.
This is the indignant response of someone who paid for a below IQ drink and expected the average IQ size.
Did you mean to put those words in that order?
Yeah. I stand by it. If you are supporting the corporations destroying our world, your either evil or you haven’t evolved an intelligence high enough to perceive that our corporate overlords are predators.
And people were supposed to know that’s what you’re saying when you call a drink low IQ?
Perhaps smart people?
