Ironically, I heard that Philadelphia will be the first city in the U.S. to impose a soda tax. It's all about the fight against sugar/obesity and promoting healthy eating. Good for that city.

I'm not too sure if their tax will work. But will most likely give the city government more money
That sounds like fun with coke music. Good to fight obesity, but I'm not sure the tax will do it. Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie
This is the first I hear about this Coke/McDonald's music. Yes, it certainly is a different world these days!
I never was a heavy soda drinker, but pretty much cut it out of my diet two years ago. Don't miss it much.
The 21st century is certainly a different world than the 20th century. I feel blessed that I have been part of both worlds.
In Australia the government is thinking of imposing a 20% sugar tax following the British governments lead. Something need to be done to halt the obesity rate soaring.

I've been drinking sparkling water instead myself, Kathy
you know I was watching a Jamie Oliver cooking show and I think he is the one spearheading the soda tax.
I'm really not sure about these "sugar taxes" and "soda taxes". I can kind of understand the point of them but for the most part I think they'll just make poor people poorer. They're still going to buy soda even if they have to pay a little more and that'll leave them with less money for other things. I don't think we'll be able to tax our way out of obesity.
i hope the tax works but i'm guessing most will still drink the soda, sadly. love the idea of getting current music from your soda cup. i've been drinking more water lately and less soda. i find i don't miss it that much. hope all is well. have a great night~
kind of like liquor and lotteries
That's a fun idea with the soda cup! I'm not really sure what I think about soda taxes...
To me, and I don't even drink pop, this sugar tax is a dangerous slope. No thanks.
