Ballpark Beer Scam - Oakland Coliseum Sham

submitted by silvercord

1 decade 3 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

From YT: These are two beer cups from the counter, we drank the beer and filled it with water for this test. One is the 4.99 "Small" Domestic, the other is the 8 dollar "Large" Domestic. See the difference for yourself. This was filmed in the A's Coliseum after an A's Rangers game.

Who the fuck needs beer bad enough to pay even $5 for a cup of swill water anyway? Maybe if it was at least a good beer, not Bud or some nasty shit.

Price discrimination in action.
