NO ICE PLEASE... and get a glass or cup half filled...

i'm not looking to get more product. it has nothing to do with that. it's preference with taste with me and nothing more.

i do believe if i'm paying for a 16oz coke, i should get 16oz of coke, with ice or no ice.

You are paying for a beverage in a 16 oz cup, not 16 oz of coke. You can't fit 16 oz of coke, with ice, in a 16 oz cup. Can't. Never will. The laws of physics preclude it.

You beat me to it.

I'm going to figure out how much volume I lose to ice in my 16 oz drink, and then tell the person working the counter what size cup I want for the 16oz price.

i agree we are all banana's. lol ... because i have teeth sensitivity for one and second i don't like my drinks watered down.

Sensodyne and drink faster. Sorry for the debate but sometimes the customer is not right.

i know if i get a 16oz coke with ice, i'm actually not really getting 16oz of coke. i know that. but if i order it with no ice. i should get close to 16oz of coke period.

Maybe, but what is close? Regardless, it should not be the same price. The price is figured to include ice. If I, or anyone else, ordered a coke and it came with no ice it would be crazy. Everyone expects ice in his or her chilled drinks.

I got a 2 liter of off brand diet soda at Aldi for 59 cents. I chilled it down in the fridge. I filled up a 14 oz glass with ice and filled glass up with the diet soda. How many ounces do I have left in my 2 liter soda that cost me 59 cents??? Would I have had less or more had I not used ice in my 14 oz glass???

AIIIYEEEEE!!! THE SATs! FLASHBACK!!

Who's on first?

If you ordered a 12 oz latte, no milk, would you expect to receive a 12 oz cup filled to the brim with expresso?

It's still beyond me why I need to do such computations when SCHEDULES EXIST FOR A REASON.

I tried to answer this question in many ways - picture, semantics, hopes of graphic catastrophe. Never, though, with actual computation. Fittingly, I never got it "right" either.

I amazingly failed my high school geometry final and the grading did not include a red x, a figure being circled, a correction, etc. I correctly answered every question I answered. Unfortunately, I only answered 62% of the test. I like to focus on the positive - everything I answered was correct.

And to think my students are under the impression I don't understand the frustrations of the average student.

I also never "got" the "You have eight shirts, six pants, and 14 socks, how many different outfits can you make?" question. First, as long as I have one outfit and don't have to do laundry, what else matters? Second, this question in no way considers whether or not the outfit is appropriate to walk out of the house in. Just because I can mathematically have an outfit doesn't mean I should wear said outfit in public.

And don't even get me started on memorizing the periodic table. Why in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks would I want to memorize something that is so readily available including RIGHT THERE ON THE CLASSROOM WALL. Instead of covering it up while giving the quiz, why not just leave it uncovered and skip the quiz?

sorry, flashbacks. back to regular programming...

Espresso, sorry, don't mean to be the grammar police

When I was typing my response, I was thinking to myself how it annoys me when people put an "x" in espresso...oops.

We agree. Finally.
