The internet is pretty skeptical of this fast food cup illusion

A Jack in the Box employee may have just exposed the biggest scam in the fast food industry, but Twitter users are hesitant to believe him.

Twitter user Franco_713 posted a video to the social media site that shows someone pouring the same amount of liquid into drink cups of three different sizes - and somehow all of the cups appear full. The drinks appear to be a regular, large, and extra-large in size, but each appears to reach its capacity from the same amount of liquid.

https://twitter.com/franco_713/status/932108760629334016Twitter was incredibly skeptical. Many users thought that there had to be liquid in the cups already in order for this supposed scheme to work. After all, how could a regular, large, and extra-large cup all hold the same amount? We pay more money for more liquid. It would be a terrible scam if it were true!

They wanted to prove that the regular cup, which looked teeny-tiny by comparison, could not possibly hold the same amount of liquid as the extra-large. However, the original poster came back to prove them all wrong. He poured a full cup of liquid from the extra-large cup into the regular size.
