Good grief. If you’re going to drink that much at least make it a real beer. LOL

I wonder if our forefathers have spun themselves to China yet?

And back again. About 15 times.

They can hire a couple thousand city soft drink monitors.

Cola Cops
Soda Security
The Pop Po-po.
And my favorite: Fizz Fuzz

Any reports on what Bloomberg’s plans are for decreasing the size of his fat *ss? This guy cannot go away quick enough...

[Tanniker Smith]

Do they even have 16 oz cups in movie theaters?

If I wanted to kill my unborn baby in NYC - no problem. But if I want for a supersize soda, I’ve gone too far...the “it’s my body and I can do with it what I want” argument only works sometimes?

Just sell 16oz of beverage in a 40oz cup with a small bag of ice.

Same thing they were selling before, just some assembly required.



Or sell 16/32/40oz cups, with free ice/drinks. Isn't that what most places do anyway?

Or you could also just post a sign next to the soda fountain: Do Not Fill cup over 16oz. Then it's the customers' faults.
