What happens when the first soft drink manufacturer sells a "sweeten it yourself" soda? Basically it is flavored, colored, carbonated water which you can sweeten to your own taste. No taxes since it doesn't have sugar in it. Or would selling that be called tax evasion?

Californians should take up a collection to buy some rope for Dean Florez. The POS statist.

If it’s projected to raise $1.5 billion a year, that means the soda companies are not going to absorb it. They’ll pass it on to the people.

Lefties never cease to amaze me in their basic misunderstanding about everything.

A California lawmaker introduced legislation on Thursday that would tax sodas and other sugar-sweetened drinks

I see the loophole in that most soft drinks today are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and not sugar.
