Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! is a satirical, retro-futuristic comic strip that chronicles the (mis)adventures of the lantern-jawed, lunkheaded, and sometimes childlike Brewster Rockit, captain of the space station R.U. Sirius, and his crew of misfits. Under Brewster’s brave and eternally-optimistic leadership, Pam is the tough and pragmatic second-in-command, Cliff is the completely unqualified engineer, Dr. Mel is the scheming science officer, Agent X is the mysterious government agent who gives them their orders and hides their existence from the world, and Winky is the cute, luckless kid who manages to get hurt a lot.

Buying a 32-ounce soda is stupid!
Just get the smaller cheaper size and get several free refills.

Would you like supersized fries with that? Made with antibiotic-infused animal fat!

32 ounce sodas are fraud. Aside from the fact that they are unhealthy – and cost the rest of us money because they target folks who are less likely to have health insurance and DO lead to expensive, chronic diseases like diabetes (which the rest of us then end up paying for) – aside from that – they are fraud because they make the customer think they’re getting value. As Bilan said, just buy the smaller drink – and if you think you need more after that, get the refill. Problem is, retailers know people won’t get the refill because a smaller size is enough.
I have pondered how people get upset over a size-ban (not a ban on the drink itself) which IS for the public good beyond the individual (including the public pocket book), but then they are all too happy to ban other rights such as same-sex marriage which has no ill-effects on society.

Obviously, Tim Rickard disagrees. He is satirizing Mayor Bloomberg’s nanny-statist jumbo soda ban. It’s none of Mikey’s beeswax how much soda you drink. Or anyone else’s. Who is Bloomberg to presume that New Yorkers are less thirsty than the folks in Atlanta?

The soda is actually the cheap part of the deal.
Many fast food restaurants along busy highways have a single price for any size soda. If you eat there, you can get the small and refills. If you take-out, you get the extra large.
And that’s the key for the extra large sodas. You’re taking it WITH you for later, you’re not hanging around to get a refill.

Exactly. And again, it’s nobody’s bleeep business what anybody else does with their own bleeep money.

On the rare occasions that I patronize a fast food place, I always go inside, rather than waste gas idling in a drive through. Then, like others mentioned, I buy the smallest soda offered and get free refills.

It’s my bleeping business because I end up footing the health care costs for these idiots. If we can figure out how to avoid funding self-inflicted health care costs while still giving a hand to those with non-induced health issues, then I wouldn’t care what people do to themselves.
