After working there in the 70s & 80s, I have zero sympathy for NYCers. One word of advice: LEAVE NOW! Total hell is just around the corner.
Of course, what they really don't like is butter and salt, and they see popcorn as a vehicle for butter and salt. But if you go down that road, you can ban anything at all, because the harmless thing (which must be banned!) can almost always be associated with something else (which we already know is evil! evil! evil!)
I want a popcorn I can sit in.
Then I don’t have to hold it.
my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:
Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemys first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.....and dont get me started on salt, transfats, cigarettes and sugar

Aanyone know where I can score some popcorn..?
Ban chairs and sofas!
Hetero sex that is - can't have any restrictions on homosexuality, dontchaknow.
Prohibition never works. Just looks at the 1920’s for an example. Oh wait...we don’t teach history anymore do we.
With all the foods the government has told us were bad for us...then gave us alternatives that ended up being worse for us...why the heck are we letting them get away with this? This is the tip of the iceburg stuff here folks.
They will take the mile to control the food supply completely. Think about what’s already “banned” in NYC as far as food goes. New Yorker’s can’t even make food donations to the homeless anymore.
There is so much more going on here than meets the eye!
We already have the thought police and speech police.
Now we have the refrigerator police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many overpaid over benefitted “ public servant” trying to justify their existence.
Wait until they “need” armed Swat Teams to enforce their silliness.
There needs to be a popcorn revolt. They need 100 dump trucks filled with popcorn dumped on the steps of city hall!
Don’t these morons realize that by limiting the size of “sugary drinks” or popcorn servings people who really want more will simply buy more of what they want?
We have passed the slippery slope. Now we have to work to keep it out of other states.These people are crazy.
Look for NYers to travel to next door CT and NJ for their snacks and soda.
Wow..keep your NYs out of my punch bowl. Next they will be burning books they don’t like...no wait...
Stuff like this will make the “red states” look more attractive for common sense folks.
Hell, just set a bounty.
45 cents a pound for anything over 300.
Problem solved.
that special tax which will induce us to stop buying the stuff....the exact plan for the cigarette tax.
It's about money....not health....like we didn't know.
Why is the govenment telling me what to eat...what to drink....and how much. It's insane.
America helped and comforted NY City after 9/11. Most people that I know say, “Never again”.
