I think the volume is based on fill lines and the difference between sizes is also based on ingredient ratios. I've never been to Starbucks, do they normally fill to the brim?
If this is true, the way it probably works is that the grande and tall cups probably are a bit shallower at the bottom, and the fact that they look a bit skinnier while also being taller. Small is squat and wider, but grande and tall are taller and thinner to "stretch" the volume out.
That's why I said "IF this is true." I was just giving my speculation on how this could be achieved IF Starbucks actually did this. And honestly yes I wouldn't expect these entitled idiots to understand anything.
In my youth I worked there—we had a customer get a vanilla bean frap every morning (milk, vanilla, sugar). One day at the drive thru she said to my coworker, “I need my coffee today!” And he said, “There’s no coffee in that.” She freaked out and shouted, asking why she felt energy and then got tired later in the day and my coworker simply said, “You’ve been sugar crashing.” SHE WAS LIVID. YOUR DRINK IS WHITE AS SNOW AND YOU THINK THERE’S COFFEE IN IT?
Starbucks is well known in the coffee nerd world as not being real shots, etc. The company is garbage and doesn’t care about sexual harassment—if firing a creeper affects the schedule, then it’s not done. I haven’t been there for years. I like my local Christian shop that spreads the gospel while they travel to find coffee farmers.
Edit: By the way my final straw was a 60+ year old male customer explaining to me how he has a Victoria’s Secret credit card and takes his granddaughters there to shop. He explained that he’s different, he’s not quite a man and not quite a woman…
To be fair (hearing that this video is fake, and yes, you can see the thick rim on the medium and large cups) Dunkin on their large cups did move the bottom of the cup up higher into the cup. the cup just looks larger, while you truly are getting much less coffee. Next time you order a large Dunkin coffee, notice the bottom. You’ll have to dig for it behind the fake largeness of the cup
Look closely at the middle cup. There's a small cup stuffed inside it. You can see that the rim is bigger.
He might have gotten away with it if he simply doubled up on the small cup, too. Haha
Me too. Since I have a rudimentary high school education, my first thought is measure the cups and calculate the volume.
Just kidding. My first thought was stack them. Do they fit?
The slow pours even after 'do it fast' tell me all I need to know. Fake and gay.
The only scam is the video. He even smirks too much.
Challenge accepted lol
Here's a massive class action lawsuit.
Or a magic trick.
There's a small cup stuffed inside each of the bigger cups. Look at the rim of the middle cup, even with the shitty resolution you can tell.
