We have a sugar tax in Seattle. The primary opponents were fast food places. End result: the $1.50 hot dog and a soda combo at costco comes with diet soda now, so I no longer get it. Aside from that, I'm drinking as much soda as I ever did, I just have less money ¯\_(-_-)_/¯

Especially the "I have the right to shoot myself with my own gun" crowd.

Spent those two months buying my Dr Pepper in DuPage county

It was a time, to be sure. I remember hearing the ads in favor of the tax (something like a grandmother worrying about her grandchildren drinking too many sodie pops), and as soon as they came they disappeared.
