NYC braces for start of Nanny Bloomberg’s soda ban
And consumers, especially families, will soon see how the rules will affect their wallets — forcing them to pay higher unit prices for smaller bottles.
Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda…
Domino’s on First Avenue and 74th Street on the Upper East Side is doing away with its most popular drink sizes: the 20-ounce and 2-liter bottles.
“We’re getting in 16-ounce bottles — and that’s all we’re going to sell,” a worker said.
He said the smaller bottles will generate more revenue for the restaurant but cost consumers more.
It will also trash more plastic into the environment.

Where are the lawsuits about this? Are NYC peeps just a bunch of sheep?

So can one still buy a two liter at the local grocery?
I think you know the answer.

Nanny B must have had a hard time saying no to his own children, and wants there to “be a law” to back up his whims. I bet his kids were rebellious.

NYC deserves everything they get from this little creep.
I am sooooo glad that I escaped from that place when I did!

Does it make anyone else giggle that the citizens went out of their way to elect him for a third time?
Cindy Munford on February 24, 2013 at 2:16 PM
Sorry, not feeling any sympathy for the people that elected him. As you sow, so shall you reap…

Today it’s soda, tomorrow it’s something else.
These people never stop.

So, when did New Yorkers become a bunch of pu$$ies?

As a native NY’er, this is shameful. I am glad I got out of there, but frankly very deeply saddened to see such a bunch of god damn effing pu$$i3s further driving the greatest city in the world into the gutter. Despicable beyond belief.
