No, I'm not talking about myself. I'm still allowed to go to restaurants in NYC, lol. However, something dear to my heart is being attacked there!
NYC major Bloomberg is proposing a ban on large sodas at restaurants in New York City (see more here and here).
Say WHAT???
Don't try to limit my soda intake or someone may get hurt!
Seriously though, how stupid does he think the public is?
Let's let him explain it to us.
You mean, if I order a large drink, I'll have more to drink than if I had ordered a medium or small? WOW! Thanks, Mr. Mayor - until you enlightened us, I had no idea what the word "large" meant when I made my order.Originally Posted by Bloomberg
And so this measure accomplishes what exactly? Making soda drinkers improve their balance and coordination as they carry two sodas into the movie theater instead of one (Heaven forbid you've ordered popcorn too, especially with butter - maybe Bloomberg should ban those too)?Originally Posted by Bloomberg
Oh, lovely. Well, the ban definitely would accomplish punishing people who are already drinking less soda by making them pay more, then. Brilliant!Originally Posted by Bloomberg
"Forcing" people to understand they have to make a decision.... I don't even know what to say to that. Obviously we can't understand such things without being "forced" to! WTH? Question answered about how stupid he thinks his public is.Originally Posted by Bloomberg
Take this, Mr. Bloomberg!
But hey, this doesn't effect alcohol. So skip the rum and coke, please. Just give me the rum straight up!
