<p>How can one possibly have a genuine moviegoing experience<em></em> without a waxy, sweating cup filled with 64 oz. of Coca-Cola in hand? If Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on sugary drinks larger than 16 oz. becomes a reality, the gallons of soda we chug in theaters and at Mets games will be nothing but a faint, sticky memory.</p>
<p>For the past seven days we've been asking our famous friends about it. <strong>Has the Bloomberg sugary beverage ban gone too far?</strong> Replies predictably ranged from "No, people are too fat!" to "Yes, we can't live in a nanny state!" but contained in the above slideshow <strong></strong>for much more colorful reactions from the likes of <strong>Rob Thomas</strong>, <strong>Chace Crawford</strong>, <strong>Liz Smith</strong> ("I don’t drink that shit! I drink wine and water."), and more. N0t to mention, the <strong>T-Mobile Girl</strong> and a <strong>Real Housewife</strong>.<!--more--></p>

<p>How can one possibly have a genuine moviegoing experience<em></em> without a waxy, sweating cup filled with 64 oz. of Coca-Cola in hand? If Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on sugary drinks larger than 16 oz. becomes a reality, the gallons of soda we chug in theaters and at Mets games will be nothing but a faint, sticky memory.</p>
<p>For the past seven days we've been asking our famous friends about it. <strong>Has the Bloomberg sugary beverage ban gone too far?</strong> Replies predictably ranged from "No, people are too fat!" to "Yes, we can't live in a nanny state!" but contained in the above slideshow <strong></strong>for much more colorful reactions from the likes of <strong>Rob Thomas</strong>, <strong>Chace Crawford</strong>, <strong>Liz Smith</strong> ("I don’t drink that shit! I drink wine and water."), and more. N0t to mention, the <strong>T-Mobile Girl</strong> and a <strong>Real Housewife</strong>.<!--more--></p>
