New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to ban pop sold in quantities larger than 16oz. Now, I'm not really a pop fan, it rots your teeth and makes you fat. But, if some dumbass wants to buy a gallon of pop and suck it down that's fine. Besides the obvious 1984, repressive government observations you can make the best part is the measure would affect movie theaters, restaurants, ball parks and the like but not grocery or convenience stores. Seriously. Good luck curbing obesity by making people by their 2-liter of pop and bring it into a movie in their coat pocket. Spoiler alert: They already do!
And so what if you can only buy 16oz of pop at the ball game? You can just buy another one and you're back up to the 32oz jumbo drink you really wanted in the first place. Now it just creates more waste by coming in two containers and makes you angry because you have to use two hands and precariously balance your nachos on top.
And what about Big Macs and KFC and those liquid cheese covered nachos? And what the fuck about alcohol? You can still buy a 40 of OE but not a 40 of Dr Pepper? When are we going to give up trying to save people from themselves? Everyone already knows what is good and bad for you, we don't need the government constantly telling us so. Rabble-B
