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.
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.
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). It’s easier to just stop buying it: too much sugar anyway
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)
2 liters is pretty common for foreign stuff in Estonia. Aka stuff made by coca cola mostly. Price per liter is a bit better than 1.5 liters so it makes more sense for get-togethers.
Locally made stuff usually doesn’t get past 1.5 liter bottles except for kali (kvass). And juice too, but that’s in tetrapak not bottles.
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.

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.
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.
Naw mate, I just noticed you clicked on that shit when you could have been enjoying a Dr. Pepper. Wtf?
noticed the same with 1.25L bottles replacing 1.5L and 1.7L replacing 2L
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
Damn, that is why I can’t get my hand into the pringles tube. It is smaller in diameter.
It has always been like this in my country. We have multiples of 330ml or 500ml
EDIT: I just noticed now and yeah this is false advertising
oh I get it they didn’t change out the stickers on the button. the vendor still probably an a hole
Hole in the head?
Lol a-hole* too lazy to use a hyphen
Its like when you buy a 1tb drive and the real capacity shows up as like 920Gb lol
Its because american terabyte is smaller than metric terabyte.
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.
Not where i live.
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.
No, that’s literally one size I’ve never seen.
68ml short of a Pint in my book. Dunno where they got the idea that 500ml is 1.05 pints
A pint in the united states is 16 fluid ounces (473.18 ml)
If only there was an unambiguous unit to measure fluids…
olympic swimming pools for sure, football fields is for area, and elegants for weight
Elegant elephants
You mean the Oregonian gluten free bakery?
What a small volume… Should have stuck to English measures when you escaped back along 🤣
It’s not called “Imperial Measurement System” because it’s communist, that’s for sure.
The silver lining is that people (Americans?) will be consuming less soda.
How could this possibly even happen?
Has to be corporate greed.
1/3 of all money has been printed since covid? Nice
Yeah, what’s FL OZ? A parrot walked on the keyboard?
Its 0.87 of a British pint
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 was into my 20s before I realized they’re NOT Florida ounces. But then I grew up and still live with the metric system.
Shrinkflation! Must have taken a cold shower.
A diet pepsi by the look of it
I believe this is what the c-suite types are referring to as “innovation”.
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.
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?
