That cup of Starbucks could be declared an official cancer risk in California.

It all depends on what a judge has to say after taking a hard look at Proposition 65, the "Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act" passed in 1986, which requires businesses and public places to post warnings about possible cancer risks.

Cali has labeled everything as carcinogenic, making the warnings totally lose any meaning to the public.

Not only will you get cancer, but if you use a straw they will send you to jail.

LOL! I would love to see this happen.

They should have a sign on each cup: WARNING! The contents of this cup could kill you!

This is what they do with cigarettes.

“Yes, waiter. I’ll have a coffee, with sugar, a bottle of water, a straw and extra napkins.” .... waiter slowly starts to dial on his phone...

“I’d like to report a crime. I have a patron here wanting me to serve him coffee with a plastic container of water and a straw..... yes, I’ll stay with him until help arrives.”

Remember the scene in Annie Hall where Alvy Singer's friend in LA picks him up dressed in a tinfoil suit from head to toe?

When Alvy’s friend Rob springs him from jail, we see Rob’s gone full-California. Putting what looks like a spacesuit over his head, Alvy asks if they’re driving through plutonium. Rob answers: “Keeps out the alpha rays, Max! You don’t get old.”

How long before Governor Moonbat starts suing Big Coffee for BILLIONS because of the “untold financial cost that coffee drinking has visited on California”.

Can’t make this crap up.
