San Francisco bans sale of soda; considers banning sale of pets

[printcraft]

When Coca-Cola and pets are outlawed only pets will have coca-cola.

Wait...............

Hasn't San Fran also banned plastic grocery bags too?

Not yet but the whole state will get it soon and charge 5 cents per paper bag. So everyone will be better off buying canvas hippy bags.

You DO NOT NEED COCA COLA and PETS to survive. You ONLY NEED what WE tell you you NEED! Thank you from your elected Government!

Where is Harry Callahan when we need him?

I get a $.05 credit for each hippy bag I bring to the grocery.

I like the thought of reasonable encouragement to use resuable containers. That credit should come from lowering the stores costs (buying bags) and reduced garbage collection.

What happened to 8-packs of 16oz. glass Coke bottles? Return them for a deposit, and they clean and refill them. That made sense, but they got rid of them back in the 80s.

Cheaper and faster to just use aluminum cans.

Not enough people brought back the bottles either. Mostly it was kids and bums.

Well, if you are in San Francisco and have "soda" then expect to have your door kicked in and your dogs shot............hmmmm......

Seriously? Everyone I knew took them back religiously. The deposit was $0.80 / carton, and that was quite a bit back in the 70s.

I agree on the cheap cans, though.

Looks alot like representative government at the local level, occurring in a federal republic.

Wup?

The mayor did this by executive order. I'm never comfortable with so much concentrated power under one man.
