Why not just give away 32 oz. cups.  If the customer decides to pour both of their 16 oz. drinks into it it's not your fault.

That would work, too, but then you'd have 3 cups per 32 ounce soda sale, instead of one (for the 32 oz size) or two (for the Bloomberg Special- 2 16 ouncers).

It would increase overhead.

Judge struck it down.
"The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither; the society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both."

"Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program."

"We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork."

“I definitely believe it’s going to hurt my business,” said Mary Cira of Pronto Pizza, who said she had to toss nearly a $1,000 worth of 20 ounce and 2 liter bottles of soda. She’ll also have to reprint her menus.

Now that there's an injunction against the king's edict this woman and everyone similarly situated should level a class-action suit against the city to recoup lost monies, plus fees.

Make the ****ing pigs squeal.
