Poor Guy Eats 16 Sugar Packets, Courtesy of the NYC DOH

Following up on last year's horrifying fat-guzzling commercial and this year's fatsplosion posters, the New York City Health Department released a new food scold commercial online featuring a poor guy who downs 16 packs of sugar which is the equivalent of a 20 oz. bottle of sugary soda. Thankfully this time, it's not a total gross-out and the suggestions are pretty reasonable: "Go with water, fat-free milk, seltzer, or unsweetened tea instead." Is this even airing on TV?
