What do the kids drink instead?
Tears
Possibly water, or perhaps tea
or perhaps tea
With more sugar
Sweetened tea gets a big L from me, tastes like shit. Unsweetened all the way.
The tax was on the soft drink companies. To avoid it almost all of them changed their recipes to reduce sugar (partially replacing it with artificial sweeteners).
Possibly just the sugar free equivalent on said drinks.
