I admit, I always look at what good can come of something before I see what bad might happen, but that's because I want good things to happen. It seems that some of you always see the glass as 3/4 empty because you know the tapered cup has more volume in the top half and you feel like they're trying to pull one over on you by using inches to determine half way. In my opinion a glass with something in it is better than nothing. Before the pessimists skew what something is, it's edible, but yours can be full of sand or poop or whatever you think they might try to feed you.
