Another lawsuit against Starbucks alleging the company defrauds its customers by adding too much ice and thus under-filling drinks has gone down the drain.

U.S. District Court Judge Percy Anderson quickly dismissed the case brought by Alexander Forouzesh who claimed the coffee giant defrauded customers "by advertising its cold drinks as containing more liquid than they do by ‘underfilling’ its cups with liquid and then adding ice to make the cups appear full.” Forouzesh alleged the underfilling practice constituted breach of warranty and unjust enrichment.

In determining whether a "reasonable person" would be misled by the companies labeling practices, Judge Anderson wrote that no child could possibly be misled by Starbucks’s advertising practices, much less its adult consumers.

“If children have figured out that including ice in a cold beverage decreases the amount of liquid they will receive, the Court has no difficulty concluding that a reasonable consumer would not be deceived into thinking that when they order an iced tea, that the drink they receive will include both ice and tea and that for a given size cup, some portion of the drink will be ice rather than whatever liquid beverage the consumer ordered,” Anderson wrote.

“It’s disappointing to see that the judge didn’t recognize the viability of the claims and the merits of the case,” Justin Farahi, who represented Forouzesh, told news sources.
