Bloomberg's soda ban prohibits 2-liter bottles with your pizza and some nightclub mixers

[graham4anything]

131. This whole article by Rupert Murdoch's NY Post is a fabrication of the law

and for decades, the norm in bottles of soda was 12 ounces. The old green bottles all were
12 ounces
The same ones people all drank at the beach.

It is only in recent times that it grew to so large.

MOST NYC pizza places had small cups and charged LARGE prices with the small cups.
It was known that REAL PIZZA places in NYC move 100s of slices during crowded times,
and do NOT want people sitting around taking up space sipping large sodas.

Their biz was in selling FRESH hot dripping regular pizza (as NYC pizza don't need the toppings in the first place, because NYC pizza don't need a cover up, the real pizza is the best in the world), and having people quickly eat their 2 slices and making room for the next person.

Normal pizza places in NYC are very small, as rents are large, and seating is very tight.

(And most pizza places have very small width tables, specifically laid out like that so
it is uncomfortable for people to sit for a long time).

Most have a few higher tables for standees.

Most NYers anyhow take the pizza and eat while walking.

If one is not in NYC itself, one doesn't have to worry.

And outside of NYC, they have cheaper rents, so larger spaces.

I wonder how many people who are complaining live in or work in NYC to begin with.

This is strictly local to NYC.

And next time one complains, try complaining to the street vendors and hot dog stands who
will sell a 12 ounce can in their cart for $2.50 if they can get away with it...(If you say you are a resident, they might lower the price, but the marked price is for the tourists.

But what is really amazing is how crowded the Broadway Olive Garden is.
100s of REAL Italian places to eat in NYC, and the tourists all go and wait 2 hours to eat at the Broadway Olive Garden.
(something that should be saved for other states and the suburbs or NJ where they don't make REAL NYC pizza, just bad attempts at it.)
