Latest lawsuit is a woman suing Starbucks for putting too much ice in her drink >.>

Since this has clearly been taken way out of context, one should realize if I'm sold a beverage that says, say 20oz, but actually only has 15oz due to so much ice...we have a major false advertising case.

Just thought of this just now...

They say 20oz cup, meaning 20oz of liquid can fit into that cup, and technically when the ice melts into water you'd still have the acutal 20oz of liquid right?  I wonder if that can be used to counter the woman.  

or....

I mean when asked or when we tell 20oz we always refer to the size/cup size which technically they do give us a cup that handles that amount of oz.

Anyways, I think that's why I always think Starbucks is a little weird to label their cup sizes that way.  Fastfoods are smarter with just small,medium, or large because that's just the cup size regardless of how much liquid is in it.

Starbucks cup sizes are weird.  A tall is a small? A grande (which many see that as grand, thus meaning large) is like the 2nd smallest.  

I think the lawsuit is stupid, but if Starbucks loses then serves them right for trying to be confusingly 'different' with their cup sizes.  Just stick with small, medium, large.
