Wendy’s Accused Of ‘Shrinking’ Their Drink Sizes
Many fast food restaurants have come under fire recently as customers report being charged more and given less, whether it be in quality or in quantity, and it seems Wendy’s is the latest offender. “So I got a medium,” @OhHeyKatarzyna said in her video, hodling up a Wendy’s iced coffee beverage in one hand. “Does this look like a medium?” she asked, holding it next to her face.
She then wrapped her hand around the drink to compare the sizing, adding, “I have small hands.” She explains that she double checked with the woman working in the drive thru that her order wasn’t mixed up, and was upset to learn that the small cup of iced coffee she received was in fact the medium size. “Well then damn you guys definitely shrunk down your sizes because I can drink this in like 2 seconds. Inflation of coffee?”
