New York has approved a ban of any sugary drink over 16 ozs. I don't understand whats going on anymore.
-
People actually drink sodas larger than 16 oz. at restaurants? Damn that's absolutely amazing, I couldn't stomach more than one in a sitting and I've been drinking Soda since I was 4.
The fighting obesity part is hilarious though, if they really want to fight that they should just ban fast food in general (keep nathan's please!).

Yup .. With everything else wrong in the city this is the thing that the mayor needs to fix !
-
I just refuse to get this...
-
Bull scheisse!
-
Can't you just buy 2 16 oz drinks?
-
That's what the mayor's defense is:
"if you don't like the law just order two."
Yeah sure I'd totally spend $5.35 for two sodas when the 32 oz. equivalent was $3.85...
-
A discount for refills.
-
Nothing more than a way to make more money. They are hoping more people buy two and thus more tax revenue. Do they really care THAT much about our health? lol
-
No Wade they don't care ... I just think he is like a NANNY more then a mayor .. If I want to eat and drink myself into a sugar coma then LET ME DO IT !! I cant get a 16OZ soda but I can go to the local Applebees and get a 32OZ beer with dinner ! Now that makes sence ! LOL
-

I don't drink soda anyway,, I'm surprised they didn't ban forks and knives so no one hurts themselves
what about those 2000 calorie hamburgers or

If the curb isn't painted yellow you can sue the city and say you never knew it was there!
