In May, a man in Los Angeles filed a lawsuit against Starbucks, alleging the coffee chain was committing fraud and other offences by putting too much ice in its iced drinks.
On Friday, a federal judge threw the case out, notes the Washington Post.
According to the Chicago Tribune, at the core of the complaint was the difference between the number of ounces stated for the various cup sizes and the quantity of liquid that ended up in them. 
In delivering his decision, the U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson, commented, “When a reasonable consumer walks into a Starbucks and orders a Grande iced tea, that consumer knows the size of the cup that drink will be served in and that a portion of the drink will consist of ice.” 
He also noted that concept is one even a child can grasp. 
The judge suggested that consumers troubled by ice in their iced drinks simply ask that none be put in their beverages.
