I laughed at the guy at 3:30.
He's just casually strolling along until he sees the guy in shorts with weird hair drinking 4 cups of coke at once.
What a hero.
The guy walking by at 3:31 looking at him like "what the hell ?"
I'm a soda drinker no one is gonna stop me
Watching this in 2016. Look at him now!

this is insane watching this in 2010 for a English 3 college prep, didn't know Casey was in the new york times now he's an epic youtuber.
LOL WHEN THE SODA FELL FROM HIM XDDDD
It wasn't funny for him! :(
Keep your caps lock off, just for a little bit. Please.
Does anyone know what is the font used in the beginning intro at 0:05 when it says "Opinion"?
Is it times new roman?
Haha I loved the ending!
In germany we only have the small versions and smaller ones😂
Leander Haverich good
The big reason for the industry to push back is that soft drinks are a huge cash cow, with the highest markup from actual price of any item at most restaurants.
The city needs to take care of me.

Wut! In finland a 16oz soda one is large.
*That man was looking right at you when you had 4 cups of Coca-Cola straws and your mouth XD LOL*
I gave up all soda's years ago, this ban is a joke though. People should still have the choice of what they want to drink and how much of it.
I should've expected the people commenting on New York Times videos to be in favor for what things companies can put in a soft drink.
What was that giant coke thing at the end and where can I get it?
You know it's bad when their small is Ireland's large.
Yes, overproduction is indeed a problem. However, I don't think it would be too hard to produce only as much as we really need and restock more often. Might be connected with slightly higher prices and sometimes you want to buy will be sold-out. I can live with that.
That's a good point.
lol 4:04
hopefully we might have a system like that put in place once the economy improves. (that solution sounds expensive)
They already are a nanny state. No guns no smoking no big sodas and soon to come, no fastfood and no backtalk!
In europe 16 oz is the largest option you could get in 99% of fast food places
In Switzerland also.
I agree. Even though I think it's good somebody takes action against obesity, the drink sizes are not be best way to handle it. Just set a limit for sugar in soda (and really any kind of drink). That would really help fighting obesity. They current "solution" helps a little bit at best...
A ban on soda may be well-intentioned, but it is also arbitrary and invasive.
Watch NYC Soda Ban - Coca-Cola Girl!
I'm not going to lie, I'm one of those people who thinks that alcohol SHOULD be illegal. It's just not practical. People aren't going to stop drinking because it's illegal. Not when we've had it be legal for so long. The point is that just because you ban something doesn't mean it's going to solve the problem. Besides, all those things ARE your responsibility. Do you want the government to tuck you in at night too?
dont you have free refill in the US?
Wait. I think when I was in 3rd grade we had to write a essay about Sugar Bans. And I'm pretty sure I watched this video.
Did then ending get banned????
Who needs a 32-ounce soda? Nobody.
well, I got infos, that's for true - whether they're good or wrong I'm sticking with them from a while and I'm good with them so far.
The small size in merica is the size of large in sweden.
What. The. Fuck?

I oppose the sugary drink tax. :-(
You see, New York is only trying to limit the extra drinking of sodas by making it smaller in size. Small size makes people think that their stomachs were filled. If you don't feel like satisfied, heard the mayor say this in 3:34
Tax the manufacturer prior to the soda leaving the factory not the consumer.
Nice video but the whole thing makes no sense. I get that places like Subway, White Castle or whatever are restaurants and are regulated by the city so they are covered by the sugary drinks ban. 7-Eleven is a convenience store much like a Kwik Trip, Circle-K or a Super America. They all sell fast food but they are not restaurants and therefore are not covered by the ban. Am I understanding this correct?
I watch this at school
i enjoy your wishful thinking more than you could ever know, however if there were products on the shelves like that every food item would go stale or would spoil quickly. No preservatives or sugar equals a very short shelf life.
nice reupload
I agree. It's very tempting to eat unhealthy.
I do like McDonalds though ...sometimes. I know it's bad for me and I know they do not really care about my health.
If we were to ban junk/fast food, I think it'd miss it... until better alternatives arise.
The food industry has clever people. If they had to produce healthy food, they would come up with ways to do so.
Banning junk food might force them to make this step. It sucks, but at some point we have to change something.
So, at McDonalds the small cup is 16 oz (=about 5 dl). That's larger than the medium cup in Sweden who is 4 dl (=about 14 oz) :o
I saw that episode. Yes, moderation is a good point. It would be great if everybody could enjoy things in moderation. The thing is, they just can't. Most of us are under a lot of stress already. No time, no energy left.
Some people manage to do drugs in moderation. Most people can't.
Banning stuff is never the perfect solution for everybody. It usually means making sacrifices for the good of all.
The question is: Are you willing to sacrifice something for others to become healthier?
hello! what song was at the beginning? please if anyone knows give me a reply!
+D. Money Darude - Sandstorm
Seriously dude. It's nearly 2016.
Pigzit I don't want to risk any chances of being killed by the internet overlord
Don't be an idiot!
Remember: If you want more than the 16oz that the city limits, two words: ORDER TWO!
They could just tax the sodas, no matter how small. That would help even more.
So long as my jumbo margaritas are still legal.
i did not like that you can not choose
Are you trying to be sarcastic? Sugar is good for you in the right amounts. You NEED sugar to survive
i saw this at school
I did too
ugly tomato potato same
For soda? Why not. I'm totally behind the idea of the govt taxing the hell out of the stuff we don't need. Maybe this way people will start drinking more water
I've never liked drinking plain water! I'd much rather have a large Coke! I know that water hydrates you better but I just can't drink too much of the stuff!
Soda is terrible for you, but so are plenty of other foods. This won't stop people who consciously want to consume more than 16 oz. of soda, so the only people it will help are those who aren't informed or don't care enough to not drink 100 oz of sugar water in one sitting. So let's spend the money informing people about why they should care about nutrition, and how to choose appropriate portions and nutritious foods. Then, if an informed person still wants to eat horribly, LET THEM!
Drown in TWO cups of soda, that's still perfectly legal
A "32 oz." drink from a restaurant does NOT have 32 oz. of soda in it. They are 1/2 full of ice.
Not if u ask for no ice, I hate ice
you can't tell someone not to eat in a way that will make them fat, anymore than you can tell someone not to use drugs
Tbh I kinda agree with this ban. Sure, people will still be able to drink however the much sugary drinks they want. The can order 2 drinks or go to a place not effected by the ban, or a convenience store. But, the problem with huge drinking cups and why I feel it's a good idea to ban them is that those huge cups make it seem normal to drink that much sugary drinks. If there's such a cup size, surely many people are drinking it, and surely it's ok? In other words, it feels to me like huge cup sizes are normalizing drinking huge amounts. Sure, banning them won't solve the problem, but I feel it's a step in the right direction.
Why not just ban non-diet sodas instead. Make it all sugar free. I am just saying, it is better overall...less sugar, more soda...sounds good to me.
They jumped the shark; the bed intruder and shawties were the peaks of their careers.
I still loved their songified recent debate vids though!
No, I just look at that puny cup that still qualifies and think to myself, that's far too small!!! I am mainly talking about myself as a customer of soft drink products and wanting to be able to chose the larger size if I want!
okay, so what if it is the replacement? sugar may be a bit addictive but for anyone who is actually trying it's easy to stop drinking soda everyday. The company has a responsibility to show what they're selling, the customer has a responsibility to not be stupid enough to get fat from the product because if you're so dumb that you get addicted to sugar you diverse what you get when you cant run a mile without passing out
But you know your liberty means nothing. The cow comforts the master who will soon slice his throat.
I don't understand my health class: We are obese and therefore should change our eating habits, and eat less. The next day they teach us that doing those things under any circumstances is a sign of an eating disorder, and it's healthier to be fat than to be thin.
Yes but at this point that is very unrealistic because then we'd have to pull a LOT of stuff off the shelves.
I think it would have led to a prohibition type situation.
YOU know what's best for your body, and YOU don't like soda, but clearly not everyone else does if we have such a huge problem with obesity. Taxing alcohol and cigarettes is perfectly fine too. If you're that determined to fuck up your body, you can pay an extra dollar for your 32 ounces of soda.
I still can't believe that small is now 16 ounces.
I can't either. Here in Scotland, that's basically our large.
Lucky for me these changes are way outside my jurisdiction! the soda I drink has sugar in it! yeah real cane sugar! I see it as a matter of choice! if I want to down a gigantic cip of soda I don't see why the state should stop this
Right, lets make alcohol illegal because it worked so fucking well the first time around. Do they not teach this stuff in school anymore?
I love soda but why don't they focus on coffee. Cool drinks are big in the west, I'm surprised they don't have soda fountain stores like in the past.
Knd Where are you
Fast food, drugs, guns.....now it's soda.
Oh and remember, pizza is a vegetable my friends. xD
Liberal and conservative, that's why there is a saying of two sides of the same coin.
I wish they'd mind their own business but that's the government way is to ban things.
I know what you mean, medium mcdonalds size in america is our large. Disturbing
4:05 OK! I'm a sugar addict... but THAT'S excessive.
Watch NYC Soda Ban - Coca-Cola Girl!
To understand this ban please read:
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It
cool down, just a hundred time less, but yes you got fewer calories - though the problem with sugar (and other sweeteners) is not just calories but how fast that kind of carbohydrates will be stored in your liver (that got little room) and how much insulin will pump your pancreas. Those are the real threats but right, the diet coke mitigate them, beside it is not real coke but uses a totally different formula so if that don't bother you, keep drink it safely :)
never heard much of heroin or seen it until after the invasion on afghanistan. Now it is a terrible problem in my community
Well, the ban is not a bad idea... but why allow that much sugar in any kind of drink in the first place?
The system is going into a totally wrong direction. I don't want to read a lot of nutritional charts before I eat or drink something. Or beter: "have to". It should be regulated. There should not be a single product in the shelves that is that unhealthy to me, so I can just eat and drink whatever I want.
Huh, in Britain we only get your middle size as our largest. Interesting.
So you met everyone in new york?
The problem is government has the sole right to rob, kill, and take anything it wants. While at the same time, claiming all these things are wrong. And you should not do them.
Right, so why stop children from drinking alcohol? "YOU need to take responsibly for what you will and will not drink."
So they or their parents should check anything they drink.
Why ban Marijuana? Shouldn't WE be responsible for what we smoke?
Think about what you're suggesting here...
"some government entity" It's really sad where things have come to. The government should be our voice. Act in the interest of the people. However many people lost their faith in them, just like you did.
unless the healthy people have to pay for the "self inflicted ill" in some way...
.___. SHUT YO MOUTH, SODA IS MEH LIFE
Why would a decision by an elected representative of the people be undemocratic? I think you do not really understand my point. By your logic we could allow any kind of harmful substance in our food. Just put it into the ingredient list and if some people die from arsenic soda, it's their own fault. Why stop there? The food industry would love it if they didn't have to put the list of ingredients on the product at all!
3:30
what happened to the rest of it!
XD right cause we'd all die if we stopped drinking soda. Some people act that they actually think that way.
up next, large popcorn at the movie theater. crap.
thats gonna leave nobody living in the city
that's what you believe since you're a kid (me too) - sugar is good for brain - but it is not. You need 3 primary macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Where you harvest them is up to you. I do not use sugar anymore from about a year and I assure you I'm not fat anymore (-7 kilos), and I'm stronger and healthier than ever.
This is kind of scary... So you think what the government decides in undemocratic? What do you think elections are for? They should try to act in our best interests, representing us. That is why we vote for them. If you don't agree with a politician, don't vote for him or her. Of course somebody has to set up rules for the food industry! Otherwise they would be able to put anything they like into our food. I just wonder why we should treat sugar different from other harmful substances.
WHY IS THERE NO DOUBLE GULP IN THE PHILIPPINES???!!!!????
Seems reasonable
no AFAIK calories is just one piece of the puzzle and not just the big one. Anyhow I see we all agree to ban sugar so let's shake our hands over this topic. bye
PS: about aspartame: aren't you worried about the multi-cancer risks suspects around it?
You drive a car, you must be insured. (O.K.) You breathe and have a heartbeat, you must be insured (Hmmmm) If I can be told what I can't drink, or taxed on what's considered bad consumption (alcohol, cigs), can't I be told how to behave, or fined for improper behavior. ("Good morning Mr Smith, we're from the government. How is you exercise regiment coming along ? May we see your documentation please?").
Other countries have government mandated sports programs. Which are actually good. Less people with health problems, less money to spend on healthcare, more productivity.
If you want to diet and exercise you can still have soda this is not the reason why kids or people are obese there are a lot of other factors dozens and dozens
well in this example about limiting sugar it would probably be very undemocratic. Banning sugar filled drinks like coca cola is not representing us. If you just educate yourself on a healthy diet you don't have to ban foods and drinks with much sugar in it. I love coke but I only drink it like twice a week and I manage to stay very healthy. If you are educated you don't need a strong leader making rules about things like sugar. You can think for yourself and understand that too much sugar is bad
Wait did the New York Times buy CaseyNeistats video?
Casey was in charged of making an article for the ban at that time, maybe he's a journalist?
so much coke wasted :(( last few seconds
