"Oh noes, Big Sugar™ is after me! Muh freeze peach, Elon!"
I already don't like this cunt. Fuck sugar taxes. All it does is make people drive the next town over for their grocery trips, or drink alcohol instead. If soda and booze are gonna cost the same, you might as well drink the one that gets you shitfaced.
They added sugar taxes in Poland. I'm now importing Pepsi Bi-weekly from Czech Republic.
The law was such "success" they want to expand it to natural fruit sugar. Supposedly revenue from this tax that was actually committed to healthcare (reason for this tax) went to some diabetes awareness pamphlets or sth. This being said, I'm not sure if any tax, apart from ponzi scheme insurance taxes actually goes directly to the cause - most are pooled to the budget and then distributed.
All Coca-Cola and NAACP did was add some honesty to the race grifting racket instead of blowing smoke up each others' asses as they usually do. It's not any different than a dude paying an escort to fuck him instead of going through the motions of a betabux relationshit to pretend like he's doing anything other than hiring a (very expensive) prostitute.
The real thing Coca-Cola doesn't want people to know is that soda is bad for health.
If you're going to consume something that is detrimental to physical health at least pick something that makes life fun, such as the occasional whiskey and cigar.
I'm surprised there wasn't similar "It's racist" commentary in Canada.
There's many Inuit communities on the Labrador coast where soft drinks are some of the only shelf stable liquids that can be affordably shipped up to the Arctic.
How is it racist? Are you being forced to buy the soda? I would almost feel bad for Coca Cola but they went all in on the be less white crap. Sucks because that my favorite soft drink even though I drink mostly water now I enjoy a soda every now and then
I see. I still say nobody is forcing them to buy those products. As tempting as it is I can avoid the power that grape soda has over me most of the time lol. This is almost like people claiming it’s racist for stores to charge more in inner cities or high crime areas but they don’t talk about how those stores have to make up for the security and theft.
Sowell found the inner city tax was no different than the “hillbilly” tax in rural areas with high poverty rates. Then again he’s a black white supremacist.
I saw the Twitter thread on Monday, and I thought it was an interesting and informative read. Now I feel a little selfish for not sharing. He's got some other interesting pieces if you care to debase yourself enough to use Twitter. As someone who used to work for a beverage company, I don't believe people should be drinking the stuff in anywhere near the quantity they do. The soda Pepsi and Coca Cola produce and distribute is corrosive. A spill of any significant portion will cause nausea. Does that sound safe? Sugar is just the easily approachable subject. The difference in weight between a pallet of regular soda, and the sugar-free diet variant, is unnerving.
It should also be said that both companies deserve to take a massive loss for their "diversity and inclusion" garbage and the sheer number redundant office staff. I don't see any meaningful positive impact either has made. Interestingly enough, I hear some trimming of bureaucratic fat is being done. I'm guessing people saw how well Twitter still manages to run despite how many people Elon sacked after the takeover.

opposing and killing taxes are a good thing
Yea I never understood the logic behind it for this exact reason

If you're buying soft drinks from the CR you should definitely try Kofola instead. (The original, most of the other flavors are terrible.)
I suppose I can try get 1 along the next import. Bought a variety pack once and I wasn't really impressed with most.

or a researcher/scientist/jurno to write a hitpeice to support a goal of yours
The real thing Coca-Cola doesn't want people to know is that diet soda is bad for gut health and therefore bad for overall health.

Or, you know, bacon.
Look at this guy believing the anti-fat propaganda.
Seattle has one. It's really annoying.
Newfoundland and Labrador has one too.
They also tax fruit juices IIRC.

Ugh. It's the same in places like Hawaii or the Navajo rez. Milk is $5-$10 a gallon because of it. It's nicknamed the Rez tax.

Everyone knows that grape soda is intrinsically black and much like the menthol tax is racist.

Exactly. Imagine if he was required reading in high school
I've also heard they're going to tax watermelon and fried chicken.
Based. I also heard the federal reserve was run by nazis. Spread the word, people!
started by a klansman at least
