Baskin-Robbins has been fined $500,000 for under packing their ‘hand packed pints’ of ice cream. On average pints were short by 4 ounces each. A consumer protection lawsuit was launched and Baskin-Robbins wrists have been duly slapped.

Baskin-Robbins has settled a consumer protection lawsuit with the San Diego Attorney General after it was discovered that 83% of their "hand packed pints" of ice cream were about 4 oz short of being an actual pint. Whoops. The settlement] also contains a court order prohibiting Baskin-Robbins and its franchisees from delivering less quantity of its products than what is advertised," according to the attorney general's press release.
