Health Inspectors to Enforce NYC Soda Ban with Measuring Cups

Overkill?

None

To make ensure that businesses are complying with New York City's soda ban, inspectors from the Department of Health will carry around 17-ounce cups to make sure they pass the test. This plan was revealed thanks to an affidavit in a lawsuit filed by the soda companies against the city for imposing the ban. Apparently, this is the 1-ounce margin of error that the ban will grant establishments. 

The ban takes affect tomorrow, so prepare for shit to get real.
