Philadelphians will soon no longer be able to purchase 2-liters or 12-packs of Pepsi soda products at local stores, according to grocers.

The mayor’s spokesman trying to say none if this is tied to the stupid soda tax. Why is Pepsi only doing this in the city?
The real news is the collateral damage the mayor is causing. As people go out of town to buy soda they are also buying their other groceries there, killing city grocers and losing the sales tax revenues.
Meanwhile, poorer residents can’t shop outside the city, Another racist democrat policy.>>> yes like me i’m shopping more whle in the burbs. there are no other taxes on groceries but the revenues are lost to the stores.
me. gator-aid but i always buy powder at bj’s outside the city anyhow. try some reeds ginger ale.
Boy...he must be FAT!
(and think of all the belching)
the idea to get more money for the Philly govt so they can pass it out to their favorite citizens merely has to pass the sniff test of the brain dead voters....
afterall, it SOUNDS SO GOOD to save the poor liddle people from the horrible soda companies..
Ok, “somebodies”.... :-)
You know it.
It’s only gonna hurt the people that don’t drive.
Had too look them up. Look GOOD!
Can you buy two sixes?

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
PA state police used to do that at the PA/DE state line. They would pull over the shoppers with PA plates. DE has no sales tax.
Traveling out of town will also increase consumption of fossil fuels and thereby lead to more climate change. </s
Hey, democrats...the stores in the suburbs will thank you...No sodas, OK...we’ll do shopping in another town..
That's next. Anything they can regulate to make the people pay more or or suffer. And it will all be in the name of healthcare costs whether it's the truth or not.
Proving that Dumbocrats are the dumbest people in existence. They have absolutely no clue.
