In reply to the discussion: Mayor Bloomberg and The Pepsi Generation --his BAN on 32 oz size sodas coming! Holy Prohibition! [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)27. actually, why not read the law itself. NONE of what you say is true
first off 7-11 is NOT one of the places, so you could buy a 100 ounce if you wish at 7-11
and NOTHING stops you from buying 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 32 ounce or 16 ounce at all
NOTHING stops you from buying 100 two liter bottles in a supermarket
you miss the whole point
However, why would you need 48 and a refill in 90 minutes?
Nobody is going to ticket you buying it.
Again, everything in your theory here is 100% false.
It has NO basis in the law whatsoever, nor is it a point.

OP
Except that article doesn't say anything about a $200 fine for buying a large soda.

I can understand why some hate this mega liberal from Mass. The NRA and their fans for instance

the point is not the ban, but to think about what one is doing to their body

Tickets will not be given to people who break the law by selling large soda, not those who buy it.

there is no demand. It is just put in front and people think they are getting a bargain

If you are handed a 32 oz drink, then just fill it up half way if you only wan't 16oz.
