It’s last call for calories.
Today is the final day for restaurants and food vendors to sell supersized sugary beverages, as Mayor Bloomberg’s controversial ban on drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces goes into effect tomorrow.
Some delis and restaurants that sell bottled drinks will have a three-month grace period to sell off their remaining stock. But for all others, the ban on big cups and glasses of sugary drinks kicks in.
Some New Yorkers remain furious at Nanny Bloomberg’s ban.
“I think they have a lot of f–king nerve telling me what I can and can’t drink!” fumed Robin Mandelbaem, 46, a Brooklyn resident who works in sales.
Her niece, Jamie Mandelbaem, disagreed.
“Soda is crap,” said Jamie, 28, a nurse who lives in Jersey City. “They should ban everything bad for you.”
