Stupid

Not surprised. They tried this a few years ago in NY when Bloomberg was still in office and there was a HUGE movement to stop it.

Just goes to show you how incompetent some Democratic run cities are. They raise taxes, and when they run out of money, they just create new ones. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Anyway, many of these bureaucratic costs are a result of the red tape and "administrative" salaries. They may want to start there.

Blackberry ginger ale is pure uncut piff.

If they are going this route why don't they just have a sugar tax instead?

Too bad they don't use sugar.

 

[Pool_Shark]

[Red Shield]

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

What is killing more americans? ISIS or obesity?

Obesity is

 

[little4209]

Philly stand up

But I dont really mind it, if it actually funds good incentives...I don't drink soda much anyway, so if I do now I'll think of the pre-k programs that I'll be helping fund

 

[Big Blue]

Obesity is

That's my point breh

 

[Zero]

"Our kids are worth it"


Just don't buy them soda

Makes too much sense so they won't do it

 

[MikelArteta]

I haven't drank pop in ages

Not going to stop anything though

Couldn't care less. They should have taxed everything with sugar in it and raised it to .10 an ounce on soda
Soda is one of the worst things you can legally put into your body. It's basically liquid sugar. You have lil fat diabetes destined kids in the hood having them .50 cent hugs for breakfast and shyt like that smh
Stats show that people are too fukking dumb to make proper choices for their families so only way to disincentive the bad behavior is to tax they ass

you actually had fat motherfukkers talking about they going to the suburbs to buy cases of soda, how fukking pathetic is that. These dumb motherfukkers are literally eating themselves to death. shyts disgusting.
As far as this being a money grab....probably. Philly is corrupt as fukk but I rather they do this then raise property taxes. This a fat broke nikka problem essentially. I drink water.

 

[Luck]

Americans are some of the fattest folks on the planet. It because we live in a cluture of Over indulgence and excess. Americans don't understand that soda is a treat not a something you have with every fukking meal. Soda once was considered like candy or ice cream back in the day. Now mfs are drinking that shyt everyday and wondering why they have high blood pressure at 21.

This stupid ass logic if pop is that much of a problem then ban it. What the fukk is addin a a couple a cent tax about to do?

I can't believe there's other men that actually have this type of mentality, straight female logic
