Bloomberg’s soda ban prohibits 2-liter bottles with your pizza

Bloomberg’s soda ban prohibits 2-liter bottles with your pizza. “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. ‘I really feel bad for the customers,’ said Lupe Balbuena of World Pie.” Elections have consequences, especially when you elect self-righteous jerks.

  • Why does anyone with an IQ over room temperature want to live in New York City? Hell, New York state for that matter.

  • If New Yorkers want to live like little children, then so be it but this fascist is trying to use his financial assets to influence this kind of thing around the country. He has had a direct role in the anti-2A stuff in Colorado, for example. This dwarf is a Soros wannabe. I'd like to him banned.

  • What's next, a Cheeto ban?

    (not that I would eat Corporate Greed's poison anyway, but it should be my choice to eat it or not)

    • You are an effing moron. The point of this story, & any Michael Bloomberg story, is that he is an authoritarian who does'nt give a damn about the right of people to make personal choices. He does'nt believe that the people are smart enough to live their lives, & so he needs to save the people from themselves.

      As for Cheeto's, & it's owner, Frito Lay, you don't have to buy them. It is ironic that you refered to it as "Corporate Greed's poison, because whatever BS your mind has been fed is the real poison.

  • Hey wait now. If they're banning a 2-liter with pizza delivery, doesn't that suggest that just one person is going to be eating that pizza?!?

    I sense the need for another ban . . .

    Honest to God, isn't this one shade of grey away from Moon Over Parador? "From now on, Nueva Yorkeros will wear their underwear on the outside!"

  • New York City residents gave 81% of their vote to Obama last November. So they're already primed to accept the dictates of Mayor Mussolini and his union brownshirts. New Yorkers like to pretend they're sturdy and independent, but they're actually cowed and subservient to Big Government and its arbitrary dictates. Whoever succeeds Myaor Mussolini will be even more dictatorial.

  • Is it just a coincidence that the 2 liter bottle can be readily improvised to make a silencer for an AR-15?

    • Maybe Bloomturd is worried he may be the "target" of consumers because he is forcing them to pay more for their drinks?
