How long before this is rescinded? Are they taxing the dry powder packets, too, that high school and college teams use to mix coolers full of the drink?

Of course.

They may be fricking stupid but not that fricking stupid.

Starbucks would move its HQ out of the Seattle area in a second if taxes made it $15 for a latte.

In the thread I started the other day here is the stupidity of Seattle.

"The tax is collected on the final distribution of sweetened beverages by a distributor. The tax is not collected by the retailer nor is the tax burden intended to fall onto the consumer."

--Seattle's response to complaints about the sudden increase in prices for sugary drinks

Econ 101 was one very tough course for these fools.

So they just thought the distributor was gonna take the tax hit and not pass that cost along the chain?
