they don’t call it a soda tax- but in the last 2 years- a 24 pack of pepsi used to go for around $4.50-5.00 regularly- it’s now going for around 8-9 dollars just two years later- likely due to climate change regulations imposed on businesses who then have to push the cost increase off onto customers-
It’s amazing how fast prices rose once obama took office- could get a big bag of chips for around $1.50 or so before he took office- then a couple years later you now pay over $4.00- cereal used to be dirt cheap- not anymore-milk- same thing- heck- everything rose drastically after obama took office- Gasoline prices remained fairly steady for a great many years at around the $1.00 mark per gallon- I drove for a great many years- paying right around $1.00 (started off paying only around .55 p.gallon) then all of a sudden we’re up to $4.60 a gallon during obama administration- Granted he didn’t control oil prices- but it’s just strange that when he took office- EVERYTHING rose dramatically
actually it’s the cost of high fructose corn syrup that has raised the cost of soda.
It is also the reason some brands are bringing back cane sugar soda.
Cheese except real high end used to be reasonable, now it’s expensive, and we are ‘sitting’ on millions of lbs of regular cheese, driving up the price. Same with all dairy.
