Attention consumer, you are being cheated. Circle K has quietly switched the markings on their largest Polar Pop cups from 44 ounces to "Extra Large." I suspect that this is a ploy to shortchange the customer 2-4 ounces of product. The cup also feels noticeably smaller. By my calculation, this equals prolonging adult onset diabetes by roughly 5-10%.

Someone with a high school diploma or a Southern Miss degree and some extra time should investigate this matter further.

I went there yesterday after the game. All fountain drinks are the same price, so how are you getting cheated?

Learn to control your urges.

Have an upvote.

I sounded the alarm years ago when Popeyes red beans and rice bowl was changed to a tapered bottom, short changing you on product.

But hey, the less of that product I consume, the better it is for my health. So it's a wash.

We were talking about this problem in 2012.

We were talking about this problem in 2008.

We're gonna Build A Wall around Circle K and Popeyes and we're make Coca Cola pay for it.

This is common business practice of many companies.

Cheez-Its used to come in a 16 oz box. Then they dropped it down to 13.7 and now it has 12.4.

That's my drink of choice as well.

Good point about the price increase. The costs of shipping and packaging are dropping, and the consumer is getting screwed.

This has Red China written all over it.
