Nice Try, NYC Health Department


The NYC Health Department doesn't want even a single drop of sugary soda passing through your lips, so they are trying to scare you straight with this PSA featuring a dude drinking a giant glass of liquid fat. It's not working on me.

Yes, that mound of scrambled orange barf does look like something you'd find at the bottom of Lindsay Lohan's tub after her monthly bath. But if you fuck that thought out of your head, it kind of looks like a delicious cocktail.

It makes me want to take an entire can of fruit cocktail, dump it in a blender, add a whole bottle of Kamchatka Vodka and blend. Add five splashes of Mountain Dew before serving in a recycled Big Gulp cup. Delicious!

You can't convert me, NYCHD!

I almost never drink soda. It has so much sugar in it that it gives me a headache AND whenever I drink even a glass, within a few hours I will have a few new pimples. I drink almost strictly water and tea. I don't understand how people can drink that crap daily when it makes me feel gross after just 1 or 2 glasses.

oh thank god i dont drink that anyways!
never liked it

**AL][**

I wish soda was banned in my household when I was growing up. I drink coca-cola everyday, it really is an addiction and yes, I have the weight as a result. Maybe that'll be my new years resolution, to slow down/quit sodas:)

Never liked soda though the rest of my family enjoy it daily.

When I was growing up, my mom used to buy those 10 cans of Shoprite soda for $1 (yes, I am that fucking old). We had one can of soda for a treat, and that was once a week. I can't even believe how people can put soda in their babies bottle. Now if adults want to swim in a vat of that shit, that's on them.

Hey, TheBreakdown! We were raised the same way. Sodas were a birthday treat only.

I tried to find out what they used to make that drink. It only says that it was made from edible ingredients made to look like fat.

This reminds me of that commercial for Swill Mineral Water that Bill Murray did for SNL back in the 70’s. Unfortunately I can’t find a video of it anywhere because SNL keeps pulling them every time one is posted.

I did say "supposedly".
Here's an article about it:

And supposedly if you drink diet pop (or soda) it is more fattening than the regular stuff.

------------------------

That's false and I don't know how the rumor ever got started. Diet soda has 0 calories. How can it be more fattening when it isn't fattening at all? I used it to help me lose weight. Now when I am hungry but know it's not time to eat, I have some diet soda. I feel satisfied, even though there are no calories.

I have seen people put both Diet Coke and Koolaid in baby bottles (not at the same time I hope)
I stopped buying pop when I got married because I could not afford it. Later on I did begin to buy it for the kids but realized it wasn't helping the dental bills. Stopped buying it again years ago. When I do drink some Pepsi (maybe once every few years) man it burrrrrns. That shit cannot be good for you. And supposedly if you drink diet pop (or soda) it is more fattening than the regular stuff.

I do not drink soda, never really have. It was basically banned in our household, so I never feel the need to want it.

As a result, I can see my toes and fuck much better!

Soda kills sex lives!!!

soda is most definitely the most dangerous drug new yorkers are taking. thank god they went after the enemy.

Depicting soda as liquid fat seems kind of extreme. Yeah, it probably contributes to why a lot of American people ARE fat, but so do all the huge-ass fucking portions people eat, etc. Soda has basically no fat IN it--it's just the extra empty calories that you don't need that could make you fat. If you only consumed like 1500 calories a day, this isn't going to be true.

And I read in a study a while back that apparently Gatorade is the worst drink for your teeth. Followed by regular soda, and then followed by apple juice and then diet soda (I may have that one backwards). I didn't know this, either, but apparently it's not really the sugars in the drink that directly rot your teeth, but they lower the pH in your saliva and THAT rots your teeth. At least, that's what I read...

ooops double post

To be fair, soda pop is not the enemy. It's people's insatiable need to drink it! I like my 1 soda a day dammit!

Passionate's picture

Oh yummy! *slurps*

i love my soda... and this ad really does nothing for me. people can drink soda, but they also have to drink water and eat more fruit / real vegetables (less corn bullshit filler) and get some damn exercise.

blaming soda is pointless if people are still eating crappy frozen foods, instant mix bullshit, tons of starchy foods, and driving 2min down the street to the grocery store.

btw - i grew up drinking soda (mom never said no) pretty much everyday and should be one of those "fatass hispanics". fatasses aren't race specific.

I drink far more water than soda, so this ad doesn't change anything for me. I prefer coffee over soda too.

Btw, we wore shoes. And my dad wasn't also my brother. Just to clear that up.

It might help if they took pop machines out of schools. That would be an inexpensive start.

as a person born and raised in good ol' Appalachia, I am here to tell you that there are some interesting breeds of white trash back home. However, I never-even up in the hillbilliest of dwellings-encountered anyone who put Mountain Dew in a baby bottle! I will say that Mountain Dew does only appear to be a southern thing. And it does rot out your teeth. I think the true problem with the general health-care issue is ignorance and lack of funds.

crazyinjapan's picture

I saw this documentary on Appalachian poor people and they are mt dew addicts. They even put it in baby bottles. Consequently, everyone there has chronic heartburn and rotten teeth. It's the troofies!

You would think that with the dire financial crisis going on in NY (NY is broke), they would make better use of taxpayer $ than making a stupid PSA that will not likely do much to convince the targeted audience to stop drinking soda...

Emeriesan's picture

For once Mr MK, I will disagree with you on this. It's efficient and spot on.
Sodas are liquid candy, NY and America at large (not pun intended) are leading the way in obesity and obesity-related problems.

They know that Coca-Cola bosses are going to try and put Santa on the ho stroll again this Christmas so that we spend our pocket money on them instead of Abuelita Hot Chocolate. That's evil.

Well having him drinking me is not what I had in mind.

Yeah. cuz there is not white fat people in NYC.

That's Hot. Drinkin fat is cool, I was on the NYC fat band wagon campaign. For the holidays I used to rub it on my ass and go sleigh riding, but I permanetly chaffed my scrotum. I now collect disabilty from the city of New York.

I am not even gonna read past the liquid fat! Barf! And I will drink a soda tonight cuz I can! FUCK!

squiggles's picture

I thought I was being good by switching to diet soda years ago...but i hear this isn't good for you either so I'm trying to do flavored seltzer. It ain't the saaaame!

It's about time something this disgusting is shown at what soda does to the body. There are SO MANY morbidly overweight Blacks and Hispanics here in NYC that something needs to be done. I see kids all the time drinking soda and these kids are obese and their parents are pushing morbid obesity.

And the Health Department is only stepping in because no one else is, plus people are consuming more bad food and getting much less exercise then ever before. With diabetes and heart disease on the rise from all the overweight people, it's time something is done.

@Centaurius:

EWWWWWW! I was already having trouble with the fat...and I just ate. EEEEEEWWWWWWWW!

Yeah, like anyone would buy that was liquid fat.

It's probably piss, smegma and menstrual blood.

Now, that I would believe.

Especially diet soda.

They need to film patients in a dialysis clinic and then say, "This is what's going to happen to you if you keep guzzling that soda. Yeah. Your kidneys are gonna fail and we'll have to hook you up to a machine three times a week for hours at a time, and you'll be in pain every day. So enjoy that Coke while you can!"

Yes, I'm touchy about this shit. This is why The Banshe died. He was a dumb, stubborn motherfucker.

I feel like Health Depts or any other depts(govt too)...are on crack! I mean..how can they approve shit back in the day...make some stupid studies probably over the weekend..(where that $ could've gone to the needy or anything that has freaking blood running through their veins,study of diseases etc) and now tell us to stop drinking soda. wahahahaha. the same shit goes for Ciggies, booze, pain killers too. Cheese balls this pisses me off. Everything in life kills you..food, drinks, etc...(going outside the house too)..it's called a freaking LIFE! and if it is so fattening..well send it over to where famine is at! THINK!..THINK!! arrrgh! estupidos!!
