Cinemark Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Misleading Beverage Sizes

A class-action lawsuit claims Cinemark's 24-ounce drink cups hold only 22 ounces, potentially violating advertising laws.

Shane Waldrop filed a lawsuit against Cinemark, alleging the theater chain falsely advertises its 24-ounce beer cups, which he claims only hold 22 ounces.
The lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court, accuses Cinemark of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and violating Texas' Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Cinemark's concession sales have been a significant revenue source, with prices for larger drinks purportedly offering better value, a claim disputed by the lawsuit.
The practice of 'shrinkflation,' reducing product size while maintaining or increasing prices, is highlighted as part of the lawsuit's allegations.
The lawsuit seeks a court order to stop the alleged deceptive practices and demands disgorgement of profits obtained through these sales.
