A Big Case
When Heath Forsey poured a $7 large beer into the cup for a $4 small beer at an Idaho Steelheads game, it fit. So his girlfriend, Gwen Gibbs, posted a video about it to YouTube. Eric Trapp, president of the Steelheads and the Boise arena where they play, promised to order larger large cups (“We should have been more attentive,” he said) and Gibbs said they should be called the “Heath and Gwen size.” Case closed? No: four other fans have filed a lawsuit over the cup sizes. They want $10,000 in damages. (AC/AP, Idaho Statesman) ...Trapp offered to settle for $5,714, repackaged as $10,000.Original Publication Date: 06 April 2014
