Homers odyssey for a double gulp cola, just became a bit further than before ...... well if he lived not in Springfield, but in New York, where there are proposals by the mayor to ban them on health grounds.

| The Sugar Content Of US Drink Sizes |
When you consider the sugar/calorie content of these US mega drinks - A 64-ounce (1.9-litre) Coke has 765 calories.
So does:
- 3.8 pints of Guinness.
- 10 hard-boiled eggs.
- 47 teaspoons of sugar.
- A 14-ounce sirloin steak.
- 24.5 cups of air-popped popcorn.
You can see why they might be classed as a serious health risk - originally intended for construction workers to take on to building sites and last all day (where they also burnt off the calories), then you can see where those extra few pounds that many Americans carry come from.
