Fizzy soft drink sales fizzle again in 2012
By trkingmomoe on Mon, 03/25/2013 - 9:28pm |The Associated Press
The figures come from Beverage Digest, an industry newsletter that publishes a similar report every March.
The trade journal also found that the pace of decline for carbonated beverages has sped up. Sales volume fell 1.2 percent last year, compared with a 1 percent drop in 2011 and a 0.5 percent drop in 2010. Without energy drinks, volume would have fallen 1.7 percent.
A 3 percent soda price hike helped revenue rise 1.8 percent to $77.1 billion

The increase in the SNAP program participation since 2009 hasn't seemed to increase the sales of soda pop. Don't let any one tell you that people with food stamps are buying too much soda pop and need to restrict it's purchase. The numbers say different. Poor families also focus on good nutrition with their limited resources the best they can.

I commented somewhere else on this subject.
We have a sales tax in Minnesota on pop.
Diet or otherwise.
So I never drank it from 2003-2010.
Now I purchase four double liters a month of diet pop--Pepsi.
But I do not believe you could purchase pop in Minnesota with an EBT card because you could not purchase hot food (like baked chicken) or anything that had a sales tax on it. Maybe I am wrong here but I do not think I am.
But I could get non sugar Kool Ade for three bucks--that is 6 double liters.
I have always added four bags of tea to each double liter unit.
I officed with this one attorney who lost 50 pounds after he gave up on sugar pop over a six month period or so.
That's all I got.

You got me thinking on how the 5-cents-per-bottle/can deposit in NY actually provides extra income for many low income people who scavenge on recycling days. Some actually fight over territories for doing this. (Scrap metal can have a bigger pay off these days. but requires a vehicle to haul.)

He must have been drinking it in mass quantities and even with the extra calories he wasn't eating less. Because sugar Coke actually has slightly less calories than orange juice, ounce per ounce. It's mainly a health issue because sugar soda is empty calories (or even dangerous calories, depending on your opinion on corn syrup and cane sugar) replacing nutritional calories. And of course, if you drink any sugar in mass quantities, whether Coke or orange juice, you are fucking with your blood sugar levels (hence the the call for orange juice when someone is going into diabetic shock.)
