Louie Anderson and Mayor Bloomberg

All the fuss over Mayor Bloomberg trying to limit the size of sugary drinks reminds me of an old Louie Anderson bit from the 1980s.
He walked into a store and asked about buying a drink.
"We have this big gulp, and a 55-gallon drum," the clerk says.
"What's the difference in price?"
"A nickel."
So Louie walks out the door with a 55-gallon drum of soda. It's a great deal.
Drinks are where stores make their money. They don't cost as much as they can sell them for. That's why they are sold.
Reduce taxes and regulation, and owners won't have to inflate prices to make a buck.
