      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.

        still waiting on any company, agency, government to give a shit about the grocery stores selling eg 200g of meat but only giving 165g. not the prepackaged ceap, actual cuts of meat. numbers are examples but it happens way too much where the actual is always less then the advertised weight.

        buy a scale, weight meat. get enraged

          In the US, your state’s department of weights and measures might care. They’re the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps… they exist to make sure you’re not getting ripped off. If you’re in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.

          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.

          He’s looking for the number to call on the sign that indicates the vending machines are ran by a third party company, then he can talk to a customer service representative after spending over an hour trying to get through the AI support, after providing all his personal information, a video of the incident, and a drop of his blood he’ll get a check mailed to him in 6-16 weeks, maybe.

    Ran out of bottles using freedom units, had to use rest-of-the-world units instead. Thanks, Trump.

        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.

      Don’t know if you’re joking or not, but to anyone actually curious “fluid ounce” its the volume of 1 ounce of water (or wine, not all fluid ounces are the same since because not all ounces are the same).

      Yeah - it’s “fluid ounces” but due to a much memed question that someone once posted the internet sometimes refers to them as “Florida ounces” purely for the lulz.

    I don’t know what it is you’re trying to show. Is it that this drink is 500ml while all the others are 20 in whatever medieval unit is in use? I’m confused because the bepis says it’s 16.9 floz, but if I type that into a converter it’s not 500ml, and the other drinks are in oz, not in floz. I don’t know if they’re different. Is that the problem? One’s by weight and one by volume? 500ml is standard for a large can in 90% of the world, fwiw.

      Dude bought a Diet Pepsi that was advertised as 20 oz but the bottle that came out only had 16.9 oz. (Or at least that’s what’s implied by the picture, who knows if that bottle actually came out of the machine…)

      Dunno what’s so confusing tho

    This is the indignant response of someone who paid for a below IQ drink and expected the average IQ size.
