1. Happy Meals
Or more specifically, toys in Happy Meals. But, what kind of Happy Meal doesn’t include a toy?
-
2. Plastic Bags
Plastic bags are currently not allowed at large chain supermarkets and drug stores, but they are considering expanding the ban to all stores.
-
3. Bottled Water
City money cannot be used to purchase bottled water and it cannot be sold from vending machines on city property.
-
4. Smoking
Tobacco cigarettes are not allowed to be smoked in buildings, and clove cigarettes are not permitted to be sold in the city at all.
-
5. Baby Animals
It’s illegal to sell baby chickens, ducks, and rabbits in San Francisco.
-
6. Segways
Segways are not allowed on sidewalks or bike paths because the mayor of San Francisco thought they promoted laziness.
-
7. Soda
Soda and juice drinks with no real fruit juice cannot be sold from vending machines on city property.
-
8. Arizona
As a protest to the state’s strict immigration policies, city employees (except for police officers investigating a crime) are not allowed to travel to Arizona.
-
9. Firearms In Advertisements
Advertisements in San Francisco cannot “promote the use of firearms or advocate any violent action.” The poster for The Other Guy had all the weapons removed just for San Francisco’s Muni system last summer.
-
10. Sitting
In order to curb aggressive panhandling, San Francisco outlawed sitting on the street between the hours of 7am and 11pm.
10 Things That Are Banned In San Francisco
First they came for your plastic bags, and you said nothing. Now they come for your happy meals?! Time to take a stand San Francisco.

toughlove2 a year agoI’m hoping that residents had a huge impact on the implementation of these policies. San Francisco is a city I love dearly, but the Arizona law really makes me angry.

Sara R. 2 years agoThe ban on happy meal toys are for meals that don’t meet nutritional guidelines. They can offer toys in happy meals that consist of all healthy foods. I’ve noticed this story being reported a lot of places, but people keep leaving out that part, which, I believe makes a huge difference in the perception of the law.

pernrider 2 years agoInteresting. I just finished reading “Little Brother” by Corey Doctorow, set in SF (yeah, it’s a YA read, but still makes you think…) I thought it was a bunch of sci-fi … but it sounds like it’s actually heading in that direction, slowly but surely. Then again, though, isn’t most of the country? If you haven’t read it, do so …

r0b3r7_mac 2 years agoquite a few of those things are happening in the UK. McD’s and BK aren’t allowed to advertise their kids meals anymore. Plastic bags have been demonised almost everywhere. Segways are illeagal on UK paths and roads. Smoking has been banned in any enclosed public space (bar, restaurant, club, bus shelter etc) And people have been banned from going to Wales :)
