I've been asking for sarcastic font for 5 years now. We need it.

I know people have been asking for this for years, I just don't think that it's the main reason. Giant companies don't change because of legislation that MIGHT happen in a few years.

Sodas are bad for you even in moderation.

I have thought long and hard about this since my AOL days. The problem is sarcasm still needs to be subtle.

No matter what we do, we are dead in the long run.

So why not enjoy, live longer or less, it really, truly, doesn't matter.

Augusts Caesar, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Gandhi, Washington, Long, Jimmy Davis, Hoffman and Hoffa, etc. etc,. they are all dust. And so go we.

So eat that pizza. Drink a coke. Have a brandy. For the runner of the marathon is dead as surely as the enjoyer of life and enjoyer of women - eventually.

we don't need no stinking sarcasm font.

So....hint of regulation or regulation itself isn't a reason for a biz to make a biz decision. Interdasting.
Free marketing doesn't help either...

Should've had a sarcasm font

Maybe they should stop selling sodas, alcohol, candy, and chips.

It is their business and they can sell what they want. If they want to stock the shelves with 100% lime jellow then go right ahead. Consumers will let them know if they made a good or bad decision.
If government is in fact behind this then that is sad. Government should not be telling private businesses what products they can and can't sell as long as it is a legal product.

You are obviously under a delusion that we live in a free country.

Warrant less searches. Cops make you erase photos. Arrests for walking around with a gun. A license to fish. A license to get married. No consensual sex for money.

And that's the thing with a free society. We all don't have the same vices.

He smokes. You drink soda. I eat candy. He chases hookers.

Freedom from government regulation IS what we are. Once that cracks - in the name of safety, health, etc. - we are doomed.

It's wear a seatbelt today, a special 'safety uniform' tomorrow. Orwell was right.

I admire their courage. It is somewhat odd that they are sold in pharmacies.

Used to live next door to a CVS and bought tons of cigarettes there. They were always a dollar cheaper there. I'd be pissed if I still smoked. Thankfully I don't.
