After plenty of controversy, the city’s new sugary drink regulations finally take effect on Tuesday. City Department of Health officials say their inspectors will use specially ordered cups that can hold 17 ounces.
They will issue a violation only when a cup clearly exceeds the 16-ounce limit.
Officials said the special cup will allow businesses a margin of error.

This reads like the Megillah
And public taxes are being used to enforce it!
I already figured out how to void the law.
You have to put the soda machine out as a self service machine. Then, you sell the cups, but, you only allow people to buy big cups if they say they are taking diet soda. Then you let the inspectors try to stop them from taking regular. tee hee hee
See, that is funny. It says in the law that you cannot provide self service cups that are bigger than 16oz either.
But I assume that is only if it is for the sugary drinks that are described in the law; not if it is for drinks not described. Otherwise, it would mean you can’t be given a self service popcorn container larger than 16 oz either, and that makes no sense.
Actually, I’m wrong about that too, since self service container is defined as a cup that is used to fill with beverage. But, it still makes no sense that that would cover cups that are filled with non-sugary drinks.
