    Really this kinda practice is all to common in any major industry serving small, medium or large drinks(ie. movies, concession stands, restaurants, fast food chains etc). Im glad this consumer got this clip viral and got the attention of the internet. Im sure to expect more of these kinda videos in the next few weeks.

    What people should do is really measure the value of cups to see if a 12 OZ cup even delivers close to its actual value. Unfortunately, the only way to test such things is using graduated cylinders. I would love to see if anything like this video is seen in our Houston stadiums. I think I may just do this next time i go to Reliant, MMaid, or TCenter for events, and post the results online.

    They don't have small and large beers at TC. Only bottles and one size only draft cups

    People are stupid, let the dumb be dumb. Whats worst then this is how people are fixated on the coupon trick as well.
