So what? Just make more trips for free refills. I always got small drinks anyway, they were cheaper, and with free refills it doesn't matter to me how many times I got up.

"Fruit ju...Lifting this straight from Reason:<br /><br />"Fruit juices and milkshakes are not affected by the ban even though both can have sugar content right up there with your Cokes and your Mountain Dews. The ban affects restaurants and movie theaters but not convenience stores, so New Yorkers won’t be able to get a 20-ounce soda at McDonald’s, but they will be able to get a 50-ounce Double Gulp from 7-Eleven. Furthermore, the ban shouldn’t affect diet or sugar-free drinks, but as The New York Times reports, establishments with self-service fountains will not be able to stock cups that hold more than 16 ounces. So essentially, thirsty people will want to avoid the targeted businesses altogether even if they’re drinking healthy."<br /><br />Just FYI.Gnarly Sheennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-40433193337773214042012-09-13T19:11:42.766-04:002012-09-13T19:11:42.766-04:00"it's not like they could actually hit yo..."it's not like they could actually hit you" <br />I sprayed soda out my nose.<br />that shit BURNS.DanHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-13406000271517967662012-09-13T19:05:02.858-04:002012-09-13T19:05:02.858-04:00Damn it Tam now everyones goint to do it and cut i...Damn it Tam now everyones goint to do it and cut into my market share.<br /><br />Sigh....
