Default Congratulations Seattle! You Just Killed the Local Beverage Industry



Well, actually, you just pissed off a whole bunch of retailers in your city. Way to encourage your residents to shop local.

That, combined with the meth problem there, should cure the heffalump problem with the quickness.

It's Seattle. They're talking about it here in Portland. Idaho's looking better all the time.

Just think, in a year's time you can swing by California and buy 25 rounds of 9mm for the low price of $92 plus an hour of your time for the background check, and then swing up north to buy some soda in Seattle to make you feel slightly better about the ammo.

Actually, the syrup vail will be kept behind the counter, as a permit will be required to purchase.

Drinks - $2.00 each
Syrup - $6.25 each

Permit - $75.00 per year.

Gatorade used to sell the powder and you just added water.

I'm thinking if it's sold as a powder it's not a sweetened beverage, and therefore not subject to the tax.

Loopholes... the bane of all liberal stupidity.

Seattle.
We just got rid of a libtard douschebag gay mayor with a child sex abuse past
and now have a new libtard female mayor who wants to expand on his policies.

Tax and spend! Tax the revenue payers and spend it on fantasyland for the parasites!

Ha! You've just described a lot of places in East Texas, where we still have plenty of dry/damp counties and cities. I can't tell you how many times I have been directed out to the middle of nowhere to find....a liquor store. No other businesses, just a rickety liquor store out in the middle of nowhere, because the neighboring county or city is dry.

Philadelphia taxes sweetened beverages too. All under the guise of "helping the school children". A couple more years and they find a way to steal that out from the kids too.

Lots of stores just outside the city limits have seen an increase in soda sales for some odd reason.

If a politician, liberal or conservative, tried that in this state, there'd be riots from Murphy to Manteo. Holy water ranks behind Pepsi here.

I wonder what the legal penalties for bootlegging sodas & Gatorade into Seattle are going to be.
