What the Hell is this Bull shit ?

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.
Probably ESA as it’s 500ml in metrics and all.

Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.

Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.

Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)

Everything else is ounces or gallons, I’m sure someone will ‘umm actually’ me…but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.

Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.

I’m from Finland. It never stops being weird when Americans talk about 2 liter sodas. First, it being in liters, and second, 2 liter sodas are huuuuge. (Large bottles are usually 1.5 liters here.)

Recently shrinkflation hit juices. What used to be 1/2 gal, is now 1.5 L (at least in my grocery).

I used to buy soda in 2L bottles as the best price, so it was sufficient for a family or a single person several days to a week. The reality is if it’s there I’ll drink it: the sugar rush is addicting. I think a lot of people still do this.

Now I buy soda in a can, despite the much higher price and packaging, because I’m more successful at moderating myself to a can a day (and it’s usually sugar free so the calories are no longer the problem)
