Soda Tax in Mexico Causes Serious Sales Dip in Sugary Drinks

Soda Tax in Mexico Causes Serious Sales Dip in Sugary Drinks: "Taxes on soda and other sugary drinks have not generally fared well. Several countries and American cities like Philadelphia and San Francisco have tried and failed, due in large part to lobbying, political contributions and protests by the soda industry.
