Confusion as NY sugary drinks ban is overturned at last minute
A judge’s last-minute overturning of New York’s pioneering ban on large size sugary drinks has handed a defeat to health-minded mayor Michael Bloomberg and created confusion for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus.
State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said that the limit (around four-fifths of an imperial pint) on pop and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them.
