This spring, Bloomberg introduced a plan that would ban the sale of supersized sweet drinks in New York’s restaurants, movie theaters, street carts, and sports stadiums. Sugary drinks, defined as having 25 kilocalories per 8 ounces (250 mL), would be available only in quantities below 16 ounces—smaller than a typical vending machine bottle. The rule would affect a range of popular beverages like sport drinks and pre-sweetened iced teas.
