“Grounds” for lawsuit? Is this a pun?
My dear Mr Cohen
THe cup pictured looks to be a 4oz vessel
Most os us drink from 8oz cups
I guess it depends on how strong you like your coffee and what constitutes a “rounded” tablespoon. If the top of the pile of coffee in your tablespoon is only slightly convex, would that not be “rounded”?
This reminds me of the guy that sued a big box lumber store for advertising 2x4’s, but they were really only 1.5 x 3.5 inches. Oh, and he won. Never mind that they’ve been called 2x4’s for at lest a century.
Courts are funny. :)
Bean counter.
I see a big lawyer fee brewing.
The “Chock Full of Nuts” of this guy....☕
No need for him to brewed over this.
How much is a rounded tablespoon? I like coffee good and strong, so my rounded tablespoon would likely be somewhat higher than, say, the rounded tablespoon one of my aunts, who was so stingy with the coffee that you could see the bottom of the cup. She could have gotten a good 100 cups from this container.
He’ll get roasted in this suit.
Back in the mid-70’s a puget sound area car dealer was sued because he used the word, “bananas” instead of “dollars” in a newspaper ad. The plaintiff showed up with the correct number of bananas, but they wouldn’t sell him the car.
I believe the plaintiff won in that case too.
In a litigious nation, humor is expensive.
Pathetic. It does say to use “One rounded tablespoon”. Based on that, I guess he’s correct but maybe lodging a complaint with the grocery store and getting your $2.50 back would work?
they need to filter out these frivolous lawsuit claims
he loses
A “cup” of coffee in the US is usually 4 fluid ounces (118 ml), brewed using 5 fluid ounces (148 ml) of water. Coffee carafes used with drip coffee makers, e.g. Black and Decker models, have markings for both water and brewed coffee as the carafe is also used for measuring water prior to brewing.[5] A 12-cup carafe, for example, has markings for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cups of water or coffee, which correspond to 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 US fluid ounces (0.59, 0.89, 1.18, 1.48, and 1.77 l) of water or 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 US fluid ounces (0.47, 0.71, 0.95, 1.18, and 1.42 l) of brewed coffee respectively, the difference being the volume absorbed by the coffee grounds and lost to evaporation during brewing.

To me, MB is one of the best supermarket chains in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Great service.
I guess it all depends on what size cup you use.
