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.

Yes, but think of all the good public works projects that could be accomplished by an army of state slaves convicted of giving away unnecessary straws!

“Fake News!”

It was a joke. In reference to this:

Stepping in $hit in the streets of San Fran$hithole is also a cause of cancer.

Birth control pills are in the same class of carcinogens as cigarettes

They cause Breast cancer

They could talk about that

Induced abortion is as well.

Sometimes seeing the California cancer label on something in the auto store is better than 10% off. Kinda like a seal of authenticity.

Yep. This is the good stuff those California pussies wont even let on their shelves. Better get another one.........

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

That’s been the case for at least a decade, maybe two, from what I can see from afar.

OK, that’s funny, because I’ve ordered stuff online before because it was labeled “cannot be shipped to California”.

I find the prospect of Starbucks coffee cups labeled with a California recognized carcinogen warning strangely satisfying to my inner irony meter.
