Mayor of NYC Bans 2 liter soda with pizza delivery

I'm sick of this "Nanny State" mentality. The state is wasting it's time (and probably money) by banning this, let people choose to buy what they want. Even if it's not healthy.

Huntsman is even more my boy b/c of that.

Shadow do you still hold the ideal that you would force your beliefs about gay marriage on others? Or have you altered/evolved that position?dave123321

F*cking New York

Also, no one person drinks a 2 liter bottle of soda. What if you are having a party and you want to get some pizza and 2 liter soda for everyone to share?

This is the kind of law you make when you have your feet on the desk and are raking your miniature sand garden.

When NY jacked the taxes up on cigarettes, people would jump the border to VT to get them cheaper. The same principle applies here: Take the train out of the city, buy a case or 3 of your favorite soda for the non-NYC price (that is, without the super-sized sales tax on top of the state's cut), and take the train back to the city. Problem solved.

It's like he doesn't realize that there are retailers outside of the city willing to sell the larger sizes. Unless he posts border guards to Manhattan, he has zero chance of stopping people from drinking as much soda as they can hold.

That guy is doing such useless things. What is with this soda ban... Just shut the f*ck up already.

More of the nanny state... great.

I have cut down on pop quite a bit, but I used to drink nothing but pop and milk and yet I know I didn't even down a 2-liter a day....

I honestly cannot fathom drinking 3-4 2 liters in a single day. At my worst I may have come close to downing ONE 2-liter in a day.

I have an idea. Let's go across the Lincoln tunnel and buy 2 liter pop there.hiphops_savior

Smuggling :D

Feels like prohibition era, man! :P

Why is the government involved with soda consumption? What is going on?hummer700

Soooo what happens when you have a group of people over. Now you have to pay through the roof for a bunch of 20z bottles or cans, ridiculous.rmerri52

You can still buy big bottles in supermarkets Id guess, its only when ordering food.

You're too stupid to make important or even unimportant life decisions so the government thinks it knows better than you.

Basically that's it.

My position on same sex marriage has not changed. It has nothing to do with forcing my beliefs, simply standing by the values that I hold firm. Why would internet trolls on GS change my mind?

And yes I'm aware that my preferred politician John Huntsman endorses it now. That's his business to do what he feels is important and I still endorse him, I do however disagree with his position on it.

I'm not a homophob in the slightest, I wish left-wingers would stop demonizing people because they have a different opinion than they do. I don't call pro-choice people baby killers.

I think the mayor just doesnt like the metric system.  I dont see him banning any gallons.

Wow really ... sucks for them.

I've done it a few times with mates ... when we have been drinking and run out of coke, we get Dominos to deliver about 6 bottles for us. Just over $20 and no delivery fee :P
