Good for the judge and a victory for personal liberties. Now do yourself a favor and stop drinking that crap, as I have.

Great ruling. Bloomberg clearly overstepped his bounds and judiciary stopped him. People have the right to choose their drink size themselves.

This was the dumbest law ever and I just want this whole story to go away.

It'll be interesting to see if they try to re-write it and get it through the actual legislative branch of if they'll give up on the whole thing now.

I'm a fan of Mike Bloomberg, but this was just dumb. I don't see it as being aimed at adults though, as adults can reason that if they really want to drink 1000 calories worth of soda you can just buy a few bottles. I think it was aimed at stopping kids from just buying the biggest thing they see and drinking it.

I think a better model would be to have the caloric content in big, bold letters on EVERYTHING. Not just per serving either... but how much it would be to drink/eat the entire thing.
