I am reminded of this trope every time I try to buy concessions at a movie theater. I like to support the theater by buying ''something'', but even the smallest portions are ridiculously large. I'm especially loathe to get a drink, because I don't want to walk out of the movie halfway through to go to the restroom...

7-11's around UofA offered a University logo cup with only 50 cent refills. It was 64 oz and held exactly as much as a 12-cup coffeemaker, and less than one of the in-store coffeepots. Since the 7-11 was conveniently right between my dorm and my morning classes, I would always pass by, empty one of their pots and then some, and sip from a mug the size of my head during class.

This Troper used to drink coffee by the pot until he realized that he'd built up an immunity to it, and now seems to be out of luck in terms of legal and safe pick me ups.

I really needed one yesterday after going through a TraumaCongaLine.
