Black smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel today, signaling that 115 Roman Catholic cardinals failed to agree on a new pope during the first day of the papal conclave.
The conclave began deliberating inside the Vatican after swearing an oath of secrecy and entering into another search for a Pope at about 5 p.m. local time 12 p.m. ET.

These drinks would have no longer been sold in containers larger than 16 ounces.
