But in this context, I think the size of the glass has been left out. People are now complaining that their 44oz Thirst Buster / Super Big Gulps are half empty. (Sorry Alberto, that's the way they come here.) A mere hundred years ago people were complaining that their 8oz tin cups were half empty. Of course progress has gone downhill. Now when I take a corner too quickly in my van, the supposedly safely wedged 44oz drink tips over and spills everywhere. If it had only been an 8oz cup, it would have stayed wedged. That's progress for the paper towel manufacturers, I guess.
