Bloomberg's only been out of office for a little over a month, but it appears that his legacy is already crumbling—City Hall's vending machines are once again stocked with CANDY. Officials claim they have no idea how these sugar bombs have crept onto once-forbidden territory.
Though the former mayor and noted slayer of high fats banned candy and junk food from the building's machines, the NY Post reports that delicious, horrible-for-you foods like M&Ms, Snickers, Doritos and Kit Kats are now available for the low, low price of a dollar-plus. BYE FOREVER GROSS RAISINS, YOU'RE NO CHOCOLATE. "The nanny has left the building, so now if I want Twix bars or Doritos for lunch, I can finally have them without having to leave the building,” one City Hall staffer told the tabloid, ostensibly minutes before being carted off the premises with an acute myocardial infarction.
It's unclear who issued this saccharine directive—Mayor de Blasio's been supportive of his predecessor's public health initiatives, though he reportedly has some kind of affinity for big bowls of candy. But let's face it, it's just a matter of time until the City Council chambers get their own Marlboro machines.
