Very original!

New Yorkers fear new soda-size rule will leave bitter taste
POSTED:   03/10/2013 12:01:00 AM MST
By Jennifer Peltz
The Associated Press

NEW YORK — At barbecue joints, coffee counters and bottle-service nightclubs, a coming clampdown on big, sugary soft drinks is beginning to take shape on tables and menus in a city that thrives on eating and going out.

Restaurants are ordering smaller glasses. Dunkin' Donuts shops are telling customers they'll have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the new rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing carrot and beet juice as a potential substitute for pitchers of soda — all in preparation for the nation's first limit on the size of sugar-laden beverages, set to take effect Tuesday.

Some businesses are holding off, hoping a court challenge nixes or at least delays the restriction. But many are getting ready for tasks including reprinting menus and changing movie theaters' supersized soda-and-popcorn deals.

At Brother Jimmy's BBQ, customers will be able to order margaritas by the pitcher, cocktails in jumbo Mason jars and heaping plates of ribs. But they'll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda because the rule bars selling non-diet cola in cups, bottles or pitchers bigger than 16 ounces.

"Everything we do is big, so serving it in quaint little 16-ounce soda cups is going to look kind of odd," said owner Josh Lebowitz.

Nonetheless, he has ordered 1,000 of them for the restaurant's five Manhattan locations, rather than take on a fight that carries the threat of $200 fines.

long as they keep allowing us to serve beer in glasses larger than 16 ounces, we'll be OK," Lebowitz said.
Beer drinkers can breathe easy: The restriction doesn't apply to alcoholic beverages, among other exemptions for various reasons. But it does cover such beverages as energy drinks and sweetened fruit smoothies..............>>>>...............>>>>....................... http://www.denverpost.com/recommended/ci_22755704#ixzz2N8iJHmBT

Don't worry- it is very normal and healthy.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

18th century women's petticoat on Box.
