Cup size matters

Ice hockey fans in Idaho have found the price of beer at their beloved team’s ground hard to swallow.

Three Idaho Steelheads supporters are suing the home arena in Boise as they claim they were duped into thinking a beer advertised as “large” held more of the brew than the smaller size.

They claim the taller, narrower “large” cup – which costs $3 (€2.16) more than the “small” – holds the same amount of beer, and are seeking 10,000 (£6,000) in damages for their unsatisfied thirst.

The arena has apologised and has increased the size of the large cup to 24oz for the rest of the season.

Would your local do this?
