2 Liter Bottle of Soda with Pizza Delivered in NY? Bloomberg Ban.

[Gunslinger]

Fuckin pathetic that this is how involved some lawmakers believe they have a right to be in our lives.

Can't even buy a 20 oz. soda?? Gotta spend $8 on a 6-pack instead of $2 on a 2-liter. Sad.

How are people ok with this?

Amid New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on big sodas — taking effect in March — are some details that may have been overlooked.

Say goodbye to that 2-liter soda with your pizza delivery, pitchers of soft drinks at your kid’s birthday party and some bottle-service mixers at your favorite nightclub, The New York Post reports.

The mayor’s new rules prohibit restaurants from serving or selling soda in containers larger than 16 ounces.

“It’s not fair. If you’re gonna tell me what to do, it’s no good,” Steve DiMaggio of Caruso’s in Brooklyn borough told The Post. “It’s gonna cost a lot more.”

The rules will force consumers to pay more for smaller containers. Under the ban, they would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at an average cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of a $3 2-liter bottle.

Family-friendly venues, such as bowling alleys, will have to ditch their soda pitchers for parties, and Manhattan nightclubs no longer will be able to serve large mixers with their bottle service.

“Oh, my God. Seriously?” Lamia Sunti, owner of the swanky West Village club Le Souk Harem, told The Post. “It’s not like one person is going to be drinking the whole carafe. It’s silly.”

New Yorkers elect people that guide them through the tough decisions in life.

Mayor Blomhitler should make a uniform mandatory for all New Yorkers so they dont have a hard time dressing themselves.

Fucking pathetic. New Yorkers won't even get loud either.

I don't think it will be too difficult to get around that deal for pizza: the law forbids serving 2 liters but not for selling it. They just need to sell the bottle warm.
