A few days ago, some netizens posted a video of "big cups with small cups".
The video shows that a tourist bought a large cup of milk tea in the scenic area of Sanya Yalong Bay Paradise Paradise Bird's Nest Resort, and found that something was wrong after drinking it, feeling that this amount was not enough. So, he tore open the paper cup and found that the bottom half of the paper cup was empty, and only the top half contained a small drink. The difference between the two cups is huge.
The video also posted a caption: "Half of the big drinks bought in the Sanya scenic spot are empty." "When you take it apart, it looks like a 'big cup with a small cup', and the drink is only half the capacity of the cup."
In real life, we have indeed encountered such a situation, the packaging is very large, inside the left layer and the right layer, the upper layer and the next layer, as if peeling off the cocoon layer by layer, and finally peeling out the final physical object, it turned out to be a small one that is completely incommensurate with the packaging, and I can't help but exclaim that I was deceived!
Based on this empathy, seeing this video, netizens have condemned some merchants for being too unscrupulous with a small cup of milk tea, and even using such crooked thoughts, which is really infuriating! Some people even shouted to the Sanya Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Market Supervision Bureau, asking them to come out and take care of these bad businesses!
Merchant response
On May 8, the person in charge of the store involved responded to the incident, saying that the drink was a "blind box cup", which was a feature of the store regardless of size.
Because you want to put all kinds of small gifts such as accessories and toys in the lower part of the cup, the bottom must be empty and the space must be large enough.
When the store staff sells drinks or on the flyer, they will also inform customers that this is a "blind box cup". After the drink, tear open the glass, and there are small gifts at the bottom.
Drinks are clearly priced to ensure sufficient quantity.
The person in charge also introduced that no one has ever reported this problem to the store. He also checked the publisher's account, which showed that the tourist had visited Yalong Bay in February, and the current IP was displayed in other provinces.
The person in charge also said that the content of the online transmission is not objective. At present, the market supervision department has come to the store to understand the situation.
A person from the Sanya market supervision department told reporters that the matter is under investigation. According to the preliminary understanding, the drink mentioned in the video is a "blind box cup", and there are small gifts at the bottom of the cup.
Nowadays, many businesses, in order to increase the fun, often hold blind box drawing activities. Since there are often unexpected gifts in the blind box, which surprises consumers, many people especially like to draw blind boxes.
To be honest, many people have smoked blind boxes. I've also drawn blind boxes for low-cost airline tickets. I was lucky to draw a low-cost ticket to and from Wenzhou, and I also came to Wenzhou for a 4-day trip to Wenzhou, which was really cool.
Beverage blind box cups are even more common in the market, and some well-known tea brands have also sold drinks in this packaging.
If this is the case, probably no one will feel that there is any problem with the merchant being dishonest or deceiving consumers.
Now when we look back at that video, we will also find that when tourists tear open the cup, there are obviously 4 words "tear open and salute" on the paper cup.
It's just that when we watched the video at the time, we were guided by the accompanying text of the video, "half of it is empty", "big cup with small cup", "only half of the capacity of the cup", rationality was suppressed by anger, and we completely ignored these four key words, and were used by some people to let out an angry roar!
Write at the end
In order to attract attention and drain traffic, some people take advantage of the asymmetry of network information, take advantage of netizens' hatred of certain social phenomena, take out of context, and even maliciously edit videos, causing cyber violence, becoming supporters of evildoers, and making reasonable people wronged.
So, when browsing any information online, you have to have a yardstick in mind, it's just what you want me to see, it's not the whole story! At all times, keep a cool head to prevent being deceived and becoming an accomplice to the bad guys!
