In the SYD Domestic J Lounge today, and I noticed that new glasses are being introduced for the small-sized tumblers. They are a bit taller than the previous ones, but appear to be narrower. I was a bit skeptical, so had to test the hypothesis: were the new glasses introduced in order to 'save' some money by deliberately reducing the standard volume of liquid held in the tumbler?
And the results? I'll let the pictures tell the story.
The old:
The new:
Result:
Given the height of the liquid from the rim of the glass is slightly lower in the old, and seeing that the old tumbler is slightly fatter than the new, I'd like to suggest that the new is slightly smaller in volume than the old.
Has anyone else observed similar minor changes across QF which are helping to contribute to the $2billion of savings? (Hmmm... I wonder how much it cost to the replace the -- I'd like to think perfectly adequate -- glasses to achieve this 'saving').
