3. How can one citate an opinion? IMHO

but I added IMHO if it wasn't clear it was an opinion. I thought it was obvious.

BTW-if you see a 90minute movie, why in hell would anyone need a 48 ounce soda with a refill?
Get a refill, it is 96 ounces. That is 12 full glasses in 90 minutes.

Those of us here in NYC like the pro-wellness that is taking over the city.
From the concrete oasis in the Broadway district (full pedestrian mall) to the bike lanes,to the soda restriction of some places.

And those that want 48 ounce sodas, are free to buy 24ounces twice.
But most people don't.
Because well, they don't need to drink so much in a short sitting and they never really need the 48 ounces in the first place, so making it a little harder saves calories.

By the way, one serving of a soda is 12 ounces and 130 calories. Multiply that by 4 to equal 48 ounces, it is 520.Get a free refill, it is 1040.
Drinking just one 24 ounce is still alot at 260. But you save 780 calories from the effort, which is alot of calories to save in a 90 minute sitting.
And they are empty calories at that.
