Your standard 20-ounce soda that was $1.88 on New Year’s Eve is now hiked up 30 cents to $2.18, the station said. Not fun, but not necessarily a deal breaker.
However, Chuck Andrews bought a gallon jug of iced tea that was going for $1.77 — but when he got home, the station said Andrews eyeballed the receipt and discovered it told a different story: The beverage tax added $1.92 to the cost of his iced tea.
“When I read the receipt I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. I paid more in tax than I did for the product,'” Andrews told WPVI.
