Regardless of the finding that the two beers were the same size, the odd thing to me was that the 16 oz beer is $4 and the 20 oz beer is $7. It's like you're paying $3 for an extra 4 ozs. Why not just but two 16 oz beers for $8?

Fans sue Boise arena because ?large? beer is same size as ?regular? (video)
In a lawsuit that is going to prompt measuring experiments among members of the beer-drinking segment of the sports-going public ? which is to say, almost all of it ? hockey fans in Idaho contend that they were the victims of fraud when they were sold a $7 beer that purportedly is larger than a $4 beer.

One of the two new Walmart locations in D.C. will change a sign that informs English speakers they may check out 25 items and Spanish speakers they may check out 20.
