Got a backhander from Coke
The judges said beverage makers were likely to suffer 'irreparable harm' if the law is implemented because the warning would 'drown out' the advertisements' other visual elements. Total horse shit.
But anyone can get a gun
The companies will not advertise the bad voluntarily. No one said they could not laud the pluses, the good taste, the energy boost, whatever. Unless gov't is requiring warnings that do not accurately reflect harmful aspects of consumption of the product, what is the problem.
It’s done to tobacco and alcohol. That amount of sugar, consumed regularly, is really unhealthy.
Who are the nitwits on that court
Hooray. Diabetes wins the day.

Figures🧐
That's a shame
