In response to the OP: Yes.

News Alert:
The measure, which bars the sale of many sweetened drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces, is to take effect on March 12, unless it is blocked by a judge. The vote by the Board of Health was the only regulatory approval needed to make the ban binding in the city, but the American soft-drink industry has campaigned strongly against the measure and vowed this week to fight it through other means, possibly in the courts.

“This is not the end,” Eliot Hoff, a spokesman for New Yorkers for Beverage Choices

the big gulp drink laws (like all governmental hygiene and health prescriptions under capitalism fyi) unfairly target the poor and excluded. people aren't buying those buckets o' cola to drink on their own, they're sharing them between two or more ppl for a fraction of the cost of two smaller ones. notice how it isn't the fast food restaurant industry or the movie theatres who are protesting this. they're gonna make out like pigs, and probably lobbied for this legislation anyway

I like how that dude thinks he's gotta be discrete about taking 4 liters of soda when all the clerks are probably so alienated from their labor that they give no fucks. No fucks given for soda. Not a one.
