Did no one notice I bought 20 oz not 16.9 oz bottle I got ripped off
I saw that immediately, that's so illegal. You should record it and report it to the appropriate 3-letter agency (no idea which one). Doubt you'll get the money back, but making the assholes that run that machine deal with the government would be worth it to me.
Bro thinks CIA gonna be bustin' down Pepsis door
The three letter agencies are the spooks the MIB's the guy's who disappeared Epstein.
You are looking for something more boring like the Health department or department of agriculture.

So the DOA?
USDA
United States Department of Agriculture.
That's what mom calls them when they're in trouble.
He's looking for the number to call on the sign that indicates the vending machines are ran by a third party company, then he can talk to a customer service representative after spending over an hour trying to get through the AI support, after providing all his personal information, a video of the incident, and a drop of his blood he'll get a check mailed to him in 6-16 weeks, maybe.
still waiting on any company, agency, government to give a shit about the grocery stores selling eg 200g of meat but only giving 165g. not the prepackaged ceap, actual cuts of meat. numbers are examples but it happens way too much where the actual is always less then the advertised weight.
buy a scale, weight meat. get enraged
In the US, your state's department of weights and measures might care. They're the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps... they exist to make sure you're not getting ripped off. If you're in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.
I live in Texas and the State Dept of Agriculture takes this kind of stuff very seriously. You have to report it though, which might be the other commenter's issue
Probably ESA as it's 500ml in metrics and all.
Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.
Large bottles are sold as "2 liter soda"...that's it.
Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)
Everything else is ounces or gallons, I'm sure someone will 'umm actually' me...but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.
America: fuck metric, unless you're talking soda or bullets
...science and drugs
I know it's a funny joke, but we actually use metric quite a bit, especially for volume
I'm from Finland. It never stops being weird when Americans talk about 2 liter sodas. First, it being in liters, and second, 2 liter sodas are huuuuge. (Large bottles are usually 1.5 liters here.)
2 liters is pretty common for foreign stuff in Estonia. Aka stuff made by coca cola mostly. Price per liter is a bit better than 1.5 liters so it makes more sense for get-togethers.
Locally made stuff usually doesn't get past 1.5 liter bottles except for kali (kvass). And juice too, but that's in tetrapak not bottles.
Then again, I never saw a 6 pack of large bottles of coke until I came to Norway, where every grocery store seems to sell 6 packs of the 1.5 liter bottles, so Europeans are not exactly without their own Coca Cola habits to support.
Naw mate, I just noticed you clicked on that shit when you could have been enjoying a Dr. Pepper. Wtf?
noticed the same with 1.25L bottles replacing 1.5L and 1.7L replacing 2L
