Can’t you just buy TWO sixteen ounce sodas and by-pass this stupid thing?

That, my FRiend, is the entire idea in a nutshell.

Approximate prices I see around here are 16oz drink = 99 cents; 24 oz drink = $1.19; 32 oz drink = $1.49. Now, 2-16 oz drinks = $1.98: which way does the city generate more sales tax revenue?

Even 2 or 3 cents/drink, times a few million drinks per day really adds up.

When you buy 2 16 ozers, the second will be provided for a cost of only 50 cents

Good point - didn’t think of that.
